TL;DR Summary

Former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Victor Manuel Rocha, has been arrested and charged with acting as a foreign agent of Cuba. Prosecutors allege that Rocha spied on behalf of Cuba's intelligence agency for decades, referring to the U.S. as "the enemy" and supporting Cuba's intelligence-gathering mission. Rocha had access to sensitive information as an employee of the State Department and allegedly fostered an ongoing relationship with Cuban handlers. The charges come almost a year after another Cuban spy, Ana Montes, was released from prison after spying for Cuba for 17 years.
