"Ex-US Ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha Admits Decades-Long Cuban Espionage"

Former U.S. ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha admitted to spying for Cuba for four decades and intends to plead guilty to federal charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government. The charges carry a maximum sentence of between five and 10 years behind bars. Rocha, who held high-level security clearances, worked for the State Department and served as ambassador to Bolivia from 2000 to 2002. The case is described as "one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the U.S. government by a foreign agent" by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
