nypost.com/2024/04/12/us-news/former-us-ambassador-sentenced-to-15-years-in-prison-for-spying-for-communist-cuba/
Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
- Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.
- Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.
