Former Cuban President Raúl Castro Charged in US for Murder and Aircraft Destruction
Share:
United States prosecutors have filed charges against former Cuban president Raúl Castro, accusing him of conspiracy to kill American citizens, four murders, and destroying two aircraft. The indictment was filed on April 23 in Miami federal court. The charges appear to stem from an incident that occurred three decades ago involving the shooting down of two private aircraft. Castro, who served as Cuba's president from 2008 to 2018 and led the country's military for decades before that, now faces serious criminal charges in the US legal system related to alleged attacks on American citizens.
