Manuel Rocha, a former top U.S. diplomat in Latin America, could face up to 60 years in prison if he's found guilty of the 15 counts leveled against him for allegedly being a Cuban spy.

The trial against Rocha was set to begin on Wednesday, but was postponed until December 12. He'll be formally accused of acting as an illegal agent of a foreign government and of defrauding the United States. Other charges include making false statements in a passport request and using a passport obtained through false statements.
