DOJ Looking to “Pull a Maduro” on Cuban Leaders?

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones has opened an investigation aimed at bringing charges against Cuba’s leaders, multiple media outlets reported last week.

Quiñones is leading a team of federal prosecutors and officials from the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Departments of State and Treasury.

It is unclear what leaders the task force may be targeting. However, an unrelated investigation into former Cuban President Raúl Castro’s alleged involvement in the 1996 shoot-down of two Brothers to the Rescue airplanes was announced just days earlier by Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier.
