TL;DR Summary

Former US diplomat Victor Manuel Rocha, who served as the US ambassador to Bolivia, has pleaded guilty to working as an agent of Cuba for over 40 years. The 73-year-old admitted to passing information to the Cuban government since 1981 and is due to be sentenced in April. The case has shocked the US government, and evidence includes covert recordings of Rocha admitting to working for Cuba for decades. The US and Cuba have had a fraught relationship for over 60 years, and Rocha's guilty plea brings one of the highest profile espionage cases between the two countries to an unexpectedly rapid conclusion.
