Florida state prosecutor James Uthmeier has requested the arrest of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, charging him with murder in connection to the downing of two civilian aircraft in 1996. The incident resulted in the deaths of four crew members. The attack occurred on February 24, 1996. These charges stem from the response to the shoot-down of the planes, which belonged to the organization “Brothers to the Rescue.” The prosecutor’s move initiates a legal process seeking accountability for the event that took place over international waters. The original report first appeared on EL NACIONAL. This development marks a significant escalation in legal efforts concerning the incident.
