**US authorities indicted former Cuban leader Raúl Castro in May 2026 on charges including conspiracy to kill US nationals, four counts of murder, and aircraft destruction tied to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown.** Prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida described him as a fugitive with an active arrest warrant and stated expectations that he would face trial in Miami "by his own will or another way," amid broader Trump administration pressure on Cuba that includes economic sanctions and an energy embargo. No extradition treaty exists between the countries, Castro remains in Cuba with no confirmed departure or surrender, and he made a public appearance in Havana on August 13, 2026, at an event marking Fidel Castro’s centenary. One co-defendant is in US custody on separate immigration charges, but structural and diplomatic barriers limit near-term prospects for Castro’s transfer despite the indictment serving as leverage in bilateral tensions.
