The United States has announced formal charges against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro for his involvement in the 1996 downing of two unarmed civilian aircraft. The planes, operated by the Miami-based humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue, were shot down by Cuban military fighter jets, resulting in the deaths of four crew members. This indictment marks a significant escalation in U.S. efforts to hold Cuba’s leadership accountable for the decades-old incident, which previously led to international condemnation and the tightening of U.S. sanctions.
