The U.S. Department of Justice is pushing to indict former Cuban leader Raúl Castro, now 94, over the 1996 shootdown of two civilian planes operated by the Miami-based humanitarian group Brothers to the Rescue, which killed four Cuban-American men. The unprecedented move raises questions about extraterritorial jurisdiction, head-of-state immunity, enforcement feasibility, and whether the indictment serves justice or domestic political aims — all against a backdrop of deteriorating U.S.-Cuba relations and historical inconsistencies in how nations are held accountable for destroying civilian aircraft.
