"Accused Former U.S. Ambassador Pleads Not Guilty to Spying for Cuba"

Former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, Victor Manuel Rocha, pleaded not guilty to charges of spying for Cuba's intelligence agency for four decades. The indictment alleges that Rocha, who held high-level security clearances, was recruited by Cuba's spy agency in 1973 and had been meeting with undercover FBI agents, believing them to be representatives of Cuba's spy agency. The case has shed light on Cuba's effective spy agency, with comparisons drawn to the case of Ana Montes, a former Defense Intelligence Agency employee who spied for Cuba.
