Justice Delayed, Not Denied: The Indictment of Raúl Castro The US Department of Justice's indictment of former Cuban president Raúl Castro marks a long awaited moment in the country's tortured relationship with Cuba.
For nearly three decades, the 1996 downing of two civilian planes by a Cuban MiG 29 has left deep scars on both sides of the Florida Straits.
The indictment reflects growing unease between Washington and Havana, fueled by the Trump administration's hardline stance on Cuba, coupled with its criticism of the country's economic crisis and political leadership.
