Last update: 6 hours agoDOJ Indictment: The U.S. Justice Department has indicted 94-year-old former Cuban leader Raúl Castro on murder and conspiracy charges tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue plane shootdown that killed four Americans, with prosecutors saying Castro and Fidel Castro were the final decision-makers and that a warrant was issued for his arrest. Cuban Reaction: Cuban-Americans in South Florida celebrated at Miami’s Freedom Tower and in West Palm Beach, calling it a long-awaited step toward justice, while others linked the moment to Cuba’s current fuel and power crisis. Diplomacy vs. Pressure: The move lands as Washington keeps ratcheting up pressure on Havana, even as Cuba’s UN ambassador says the island is willing to negotiate “everything” with the U.S. Tourism Messaging: In Havana’s official narrative, Manuel Marrero Cruz praised Raúl Castro’s role in promoting tourism—an attempt to frame the indictment through a prosperity lens.
