Former American diplomat confesses to spying for Cuba
A former American diplomat has announced his intention to confess to charges related to his past activities as a secret agent for Cuba over several decades.
According to the Associated Press, he informed a federal judge on Friday of his decision, paving the way for a swift resolution to this controversial case that prosecutors have referred to as the most egregious betrayal in the history of the US State Department.
Manuel Rocha, a former American diplomat, may face a lengthy prison sentence after admitting to spying for Cuba for several decades.
This 73-year-old former diplomat will be recognized as a criminal by the federal judge for conspiring to act in favor of a foreign government, and will experience a sudden fall from his previous position as a former member of his country’s diplomatic corps, facing severe consequences.
