U.S. Prosecutors Zero In on Cuba’s Raúl Castro

“Raúl Castro holds no formal office in Cuba’s government and is rarely seen in public. Yet at nearly 95 years old, the younger of the two brothers who led the Cuban revolution continues to be the man who has the final say on the country’s most important matters,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Now, the Trump administration intends to prosecute the frail patriarch and former president on criminal charges, shifting the pressure campaign from broad sanctions against Cuba’s government toward accountability for a man who symbolizes the Communist regime’s power structure.”
