A federal prosecutor in Florida is looking to build criminal cases against leaders of Cuba’s government and Communist Party, according to people familiar with the matter, as President Trump has openly suggested the country would be his next target for regime change.
The Trump administration used criminal charges as a justification for the ouster of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.
The Trump-appointed U.S. attorney in Miami has created a working group that includes officials from the Treasury Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration to gather evidence for such prosecutions, the people familiar with the matter said. Prosecutors are looking for potential crimes related to drugs, immigration and other violations, they said.
“It could result in arrest warrants which can then be executed by the same means as we saw in Venezuela,”
