A former National Security Council member and U.S. ambassador to Bolivia, Victor Manuel Rocha, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for secretly acting as an agent for the government of the Republic of Cuba. The 73-year-old Miami resident admitted to working against the U.S. government for decades in clandestine intelligence-gathering missions.
Rocha, who graduated from prestigious universities such as Yale, Harvard, and Georgetown, served in the State Department from 1981 to 2002. He used his position to obtain classified information and influence U.S. foreign policy in favor of Cuba.
