Díaz-Canel calls US arrest warrant against Raúl Castro a "pathetic Miami circus"
World2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported54m ago
A Miami judge has signed an arrest warrant for former Cuban president Raúl Castro, following a finding of sufficient evidence to charge him with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder. The charges are related to the 1996 downing of two light aircraft belonging to the organization "Brothers to the Rescue" by Cuban authorities.
In response to the legal action, current Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel strongly condemned the warrant, dismissing it as a "pathetic Miami circus" during official statements. The development marks a significant escalation in legal actions originating from U.S. jurisdictions against high-ranking figures of the Cuban government regarding historical incidents.
