This market will resolve to “Yes” if United States federal government formally charges or announces a criminal indictment of former First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba Raul Castro between market creation and June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from US governmental sources, however a wide consensus of credible reporting will also be used.Despite congressional calls from Cuban-American lawmakers and reports of DOJ exploration into charges related to the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shoot-down, no federal indictment against former Cuban leader Raúl Castro has materialized as of late March 2026, driving trader consensus toward "No" at 62.5%. Florida's attorney general initiated a state-level criminal probe on March 4 instead, while Trump administration priorities emphasize economic sanctions, an oil blockade, and diplomatic negotiations—in which Cuban President Díaz-Canel confirmed Castro's involvement last week—over prosecution. Recent U.S. military actions in Venezuela targeting Cuban personnel underscore escalation through other foreign policy levers rather than judicial ones, with Castro's advanced age adding practical barriers to any charges.
