U.S. plans to indict Cuba's Raul Castro, DOJ official says
From the PEP Radio Newsroom, we have this news from Reuters via HuffPost:
The United States plans to indict Cuba's Raul Castro, a U.S. Department of Justice official said late on Thursday.
The timing of the potential indictment, which would need to be approved by a grand jury, was not immediately clear.
The potential indictment of the 94-year-old former president of Cuba and brother of Fidel is expected to focus on the downing of aircraft, the official said.
CBS previously reported that the conduct at issue in the case relates to Cuba's deadly 1996 shootdown of planes operated by humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida has been overseeing an effort to examine potential criminal charges against senior Cuban government officials.
