The market resolves to Yes if Raul Castro is physically detained or arrested by U.S. personnel at any point before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. The outcome depends on official U.S. government information and a consensus of credible reporting. Readers often mistake voluntary visits or presence in U.S. spaces for custody, but only actual physical control by U.S. agents counts.
