Former U.S. ambassador charged with spying for Cuba

MIAMI — A former U.S.ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested and charged with spying for Cuba over a 40-year span, the Justice Department announced Monday, detailing a shock betrayal by a suspect who called the United States "the enemy."

U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland laid out the allegations against Victor Manuel Rocha, a onetime member of the White House's National Security Council now accused of using his positions within government to support Cuba's "clandestine intelligence-gathering mission" against the United States.
