Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro
Raúl Guillermo Rodríguez Castro, also known as El Cangrejo, is the grandson of former Cuban leader Raúl Castro. Born in 1983, he has served as his grandfather's bodyguard and has become a frequent traveler to Panama since May 2024, often arriving in private jets. His visits have raised eyebrows due to their coinciding with significant political events in Panama, including the recent presidential elections, and his connections to high-ranking military officials in Cuba.
