The U.S. Department of Justice is considering potential criminal charges against former Cuban leader Raul Castro in relation to the 1996 downing of two civilian planes associated with the humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue. This event resulted in four fatalities and is regarded as one of the most contentious episodes in the history of U.S.-Cuba relations. Authorities indicated that the indictment still needs to be approved by a grand jury. This news arises as Washington intensifies its pressure on Havana through sanctions and diplomatic advisories. Experts suggest that this case could exacerbate tensions between the two nations and influence future discussions in the area.
