'Former US ambassador admits to being secret agent for decades'

A 73-year-old former US ambassador to Bolivia and National Security Council official, Victor Manuel Rocha, has admitted to secretly working as an agent for Cuba for many years. This breach of trust is considered a significant infiltration of the US government by a foreign power. Rocha, from Miami, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiring to act as a foreign government agent without informing the US Attorney General and conspiring to defraud the United States.
