A former career U.S. diplomat and former U.S. ambassador to Bolivia who admitted to a judge that he spied for Cuba for decades will plead guilty to his charges.
On Thursday, Victor Manuel Rocha, 73, admitted to spying for Cuba and told the judge that he “intends to plead guilty to federal charges.”
Rocha was first indicted in December of last year on charges accusing him of being a spy for Cuba’s intelligence agency for decades. During the hearing, Rocha said that he would agree to plead guilty to two charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government.
Regarding his guilty plea, prosecutors agreed to drop over a dozen additional charges, according to AP News.
The maximum sentence for the two counts is five to ten years in prison. When the judge asked Rocha if he wanted to change his plea, he said, “I am in agreement.” Following the hearing, his intention to modify his plea was noted on the case docket. Rocha’s next court date is April 12th.
