The U.S. Justice Department is intensifying efforts to indict former Cuban president Raúl Castro, focusing on his involvement in the 1996 downing of civilian planes. This potential indictment, which is expected to be unsealed in Miami soon, comes as the Trump administration increases pressure on Cuba. Sources indicate that the plans to criminally charge Castro are part of a broader strategy, drawing parallels to the U.S. approach to Venezuela. The situation has raised concerns among Cubans, especially as the island faces severe energy crises and escalating blackouts. The move has been met with approval from Cuban exiles in South Florida, who view the indictment as a step towards justice. Meanwhile, CIA officials have traveled to Cuba in connection with the unfolding events.
