WASHINGTON—The Trump administration announced it was adding the son-in-law of retired Cuban leader Raul Castro to its sanctions list for “specially designated nationals and blocked persons.”
The departments of State and Treasury said Wednesday that Luis Alberto Rodríguez López-Calleja, the husband of Castro’s daughter, Deborah, was helping to fund human rights abuses and working in concert with Venezuela to suppress Cubans’ freedoms using revenue generated from the Cuban military’s financial arm: the Grupo de Administración Empresarial S.A. (GAESA).
