The United States is preparing to file criminal charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro, according to sources cited in reports by CBS News and Fox News. The indictment would be connected to a deadly clash that occurred decades ago, CBS News reported.
CBS News correspondent Nicole Sganga first reported the development, saying that the U.S. is moving to indict Castro. A source later told Fox News that the U.S. is moving to indict the 94-year-old former leader, who is the younger brother of longtime Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
The specific details of the alleged charges and the deadly clash have not been made public. Both reports relied on unnamed sources, and no official confirmation has been provided by the U.S. Department of Justice or the Cuban government.
Raúl Castro is the younger brother of Fidel Castro, who led Cuba for many years. He later became president of Cuba himself. The potential indictment represents a rare legal action against a former head of state.
The reports did not indicate when the indictment might be announced. The U.S. Justice Department has not commented on the matter, and it is unclear whether Cuban authorities have been notified.
As the situation develops, further details are expected to emerge. For now, the move signals a renewed focus on past events involving the Castro leadership.
