US Justice Department indicts former Cuban President Raúl Castro for 1996 plane shootdown.
The US Department of Justice unsealed an indictment on May 20, 2026, charging former Cuban President Raúl Castro with conspiracy to kill US nationals, murder, and destruction of aircraft for his alleged role in ordering the 1996 shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue planes that killed four people. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the charges at a ceremony in Miami honoring the victims. The indictment is part of a broader Trump administration pressure campaign against Cuba's communist government.
