Former US ambassador to Bolivia, Victor Manuel Rocha, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for spying on the US government for Cuba over a span of four decades. Rocha, who held high-ranking positions in the US government, admitted to acting as an agent for the Cuban government throughout his career, providing access to nonpublic and classified information. Despite portraying himself as a Cuba hardliner, he was arrested after meetings with undercover FBI agents, during which he acknowledged his spying activities. The Justice Department did not charge him with espionage, and the extent of the information he provided to Cuba remains undisclosed.
