Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez Parrilla has hit back at the United States after Washington filed criminal charges against former Cuban President Raúl Castro over the 1996 downing of two aircraft operated by the group "Brothers to the Rescue."

The Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform, Mac Albert Hengari, is the subject  to an investigation into a number of allegations, following a complaint filed in November 2024.

The alleged offences are listed under a Case Record Number reportedly linked to the minister.
