An ex-US diplomat has been federally charged over allegations he worked as a secret agent for Cuba.
Feds allege that Rocha even bragged about his work for Cuba as "more than a grand slam."
AdvertisementAttorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement that Rocha's arrest "exposes one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the United States government by a foreign agent."
"Those who have the privilege of serving in the government of the United States are given an enormous amount of trust by the public we serve," said Garland.
We did more than they thought," Rocha told the undercover fed, the court documents allege.
