Former US Ambassador Charged With Acting As Secret Foreign Agent

In a startling development, former U.S. Ambassador to Bolivia, Manuel Rocha, is facing charges of acting as a secret foreign agent on behalf of Cuba. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the charges, revealing that the 73-year-old diplomat had clandestinely supported the Republic of Cuba and participated in its covert intelligence-gathering mission against the United States.

Rocha's alleged activities occurred during his tenure as the U.S. ambassador to Bolivia from 2000 to 2002. Prior to this role, he served as the Deputy Principal Officer of the U.S. Interests Section in Cuba during the 1990s. . .
