Former American diplomat admits to spying for Cuba
A former American diplomat has announced that he intends to plead guilty 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 Thursday of his decision, thereby paving the way for a quicker resolution of this controversial case, which prosecutors have described as the most brazen act of treason in the history of the United States Department of State.
Manuel Rocha, the former American diplomat, may face a long-term prison sentence after admitting to spying for Cuba for several decades.
The 73-year-old former diplomat, by accepting the charges from the federal judge regarding conspiracy to act in favor of a foreign government, will be found guilty and will face a severe penalty, experiencing a sudden fall from his previous position as a former member of his country’s diplomatic corps.
