A longtime U.S. diplomat who served as ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested and charged with being a clandestine agent for the Cuban government.

Victor Manuel Rocha was formally charged today in federal court in Miami. Prosecutors say Rocha's illegal work with Cuba spanned 40 years, including his 20 years as a State Department employee.

 

 Rocha was born in Colombia and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1978. According to the criminal complaint, he began working for the State Department in 1981. Over the next two decades, he held positions at U.S. embassies in Mexico, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Argentina and Bolivia where he served as ambassador.
