Castro, 94, and his brother, Fidel Castro, were accused of ordering the Cuban Air Force to shoot down two civilian planes that belonged to the Brothers nonprofit, which carried out rescue missions to save Cubans fleeing their homeland.
Two of the organization’s planes were shot down on Feb. 24, 1996, after departing from Florida. Four Cuban Americans were killed.
The sources confirm that a grand jury returned an indictment after hearing evidence in the case, but they haven’t seen the paperwork and cannot describe the actual charges.
I think Fidel Castro should get the death penalty!
Jokes aside, I’m a local prosecutor and I always found DOJ cases against most foreign actors to be very undermining. Jurisdiction is always made up and it makes our system seem kangaroo-like since defenses often times can’t even get legitimate discovery under the pretense of national security. Makes the verdicts seem pre determined
Well, as somebody sad it just form of political pressure – „now we are going to prosecute people in your gov“. And that is Ok, But Castro is 94. Prosecute him now and for what happen 30 years ago – everybody in the world would see it as made up. Even those people in gov in Cuba would ask „if we are to make a deal – what guaranty you would give us then? You are telling us now that not going to put us in prison – today. But you yourselves will not be here tomorrow, how much security we are getting?“
