A former United States ambassador who admitted to secretly acting for decades as an agent of the government of Cuba has been jailed for 15 years.
Seventy-three-year-old Victor Manuel Rocha, a former US Department of State employee who served on the National Security Council from 1994 to 1995 and as US Ambassador to Bolivia from 2000 to 2002, was sentenced on Friday by a US federal judge.
Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department's National Security Division said the guilty plea and sentencing bring to an end more than four decades of betrayal and deceit by the defendant.
