Former US ambassador, NSC official admits to acting as secret agent for Cuba, learns fate: DOJ
|
[FoxNews] A former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia and a National Security Council member pleaded guilty on Friday to secretly acting for decades as an agent of the government of the Republic of Cuba, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
A federal judge sentenced Victor Manuel Rocha, 73, of Miami, to 15 years in prison for working against the U.S. government for decades for communist Cuba in "clandestine intelligence-gathering missions."
"Today’s plea and sentencing brings to an end more than four decades of betrayal and deceit by the defendant," said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the DOJ's National Security Division. "Rocha admitted to acting as an agent of the Cuban government at the same time he held numerous positions of trust in the U.S. government, a staggering betrayal of the American people and an acknowledgment that every oath he took to the United States was a lie."
Prosecutors agreed to dismiss more than a dozen other charges in exchange for his guilty plea, the Associated Press said.
