The state of Florida has issued an arrest warrant for former Cuban president Raúl Castro, citing his alleged role in the 1996 shootdown of two civilian aircraft linked to the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the warrant during a press conference, emphasizing the need for accountability. This move follows federal indictments against Castro earlier in the year and comes after negotiations with his grandson reportedly stalled. A Miami judge has signed the warrant, underscoring its judicial backing. Questions remain about the potential for extraditing Castro to face trial in Florida.
