"Ex-US Ambassador to Plead Guilty to Decades-Long Cuban Spying"
TL;DR
Former U.S. ambassador Manuel Rocha, accused of being a Cuban agent, signaled his intention to plead guilty to charges of acting as a foreign agent and defrauding the United States, bringing a swift end to the case. The 73-year-old faces a maximum sentence of five to 10 years in prison for each count of conspiring to act as a foreign agent. Rocha, a career diplomat and former ambassador to Bolivia, had allegedly aided the Cuban government since at least 1981, with the indictment describing his actions as one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the U.S. government by a foreign agent.
