TL;DR Summary

Manuel Rocha, a former US ambassador to Bolivia, has been arrested in Miami as part of an FBI counterintelligence investigation, accused of secretly serving as an agent of the Cuban government. The Justice Department case alleges that Rocha worked to promote the interests of the Cuban government without registering with the department, as required by federal law. Rocha's 25-year diplomatic career included postings in Latin America during the Cold War. He also held senior roles in business after retiring from the State Department. Further details about the case are expected to be revealed at a court appearance on Monday.
