"Ex-US Diplomat Confesses Decades-Long Espionage for Cuban Intelligence"

Former U.S. diplomat Manuel Rocha has agreed to plead guilty to charges of acting as a secret agent for Cuba, potentially facing a lengthy prison term. The plea deal includes an agreed-upon sentence, with Rocha due back in court for sentencing on April 12. The case sheds little light on Rocha's specific actions to aid Cuba, but a confidential damage assessment is ongoing. The swift resolution benefits both Rocha and the government, allowing for a full damage assessment and potential insights into Cuba's penetration of U.S. foreign policy circles.
