US Justice Department Moves Toward Indicting Former Cuban President Raúl Castro

The US Justice Department is moving toward indicting former Cuban President Raúl Castro, according to AP sources. The unprecedented legal action would target a former head of state, marking a dramatic escalation in Washington's pressure campaign against Havana. The potential indictment comes amid heightened US-Cuba tensions, including the 2026 energy blockade and ongoing debate over military options. No US administration has previously sought criminal charges against a sitting or former leader of Cuba.
