Cuban Pilot Faces New Murder Charges

A Cuban ex-military pilot, Luis Raul Gonzalez-Pardo Rodriguez, just got out of jail after serving time for lying about his military past—but his legal troubles aren’t over. Now facing fresh, explosive charges in Miami, he’s accused of conspiring to kill Americans back in 1996 during a deadly Cuban jet shootdown of two planes from Brothers to the Rescue. Rodriguez, a 30-year MiG pilot, allegedly pursued a third plane with intent to shoot it down—though he didn’t fire. Former Cuban president Raul Castro is also charged. Four people died, three U.S. citizens. Rodriguez’s immigration lie landed him in jail since November, and now he’s being transferred to Miami to face these far more serious charges—and could be deported after his conviction.
