United States expected to indict Raúl Castro today. Here’s how to watch.

The United States is expected to announce the indictment of  former Cuban leader Raúl Castro at an event in Miami on Wednesday, and CBS News Miami will be airing the historic moment on-air and online.

Why is Raúl Castro being indicted?

Raúl Castro, 94, the younger brother of longtime dictator Fidel Castro, is expected to face charges related to the deadly 1996 shootdown of two Brothers to the Rescue planes, as CBS News was first to report last week.

This comes as the U.S. continues to pile on the pressure on the Cuban government. 

In recent months the Trump administration has threatened heavy tariffs on countries that export oil to Cuba, and that has led to widespread blackouts amid an economic and energy crisis.
