"Ex-US Ambassador Arrested for Decades-Long Cuban Spy Operation"
Former US diplomat Manuel Rocha has been charged with serving as a secret agent for Cuba since at least 1981, according to court papers filed in federal court in Miami. Prosecutors allege that Rocha engaged in "clandestine activity" on Cuba's behalf, including meeting with Cuban intelligence operatives and providing false information to US government officials. The case highlights long-standing efforts by Cuba's intelligence services to target government officials who can be flipped. Rocha, who had a two-decade career as a US diplomat, was arrested at his Miami home and is facing charges of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government.
