Former US ambassador Victor Manuel Rocha, 73, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for spying for Cuba for over 40 years. Judge Beth Bloom delivered the verdict in Miami, labeling it one of the most significant foreign infiltrations in US history. Rocha initially pleaded not guilty but later accepted a plea deal. Alongside the prison term, he was fined $500,000. The case underscores the severity of espionage within the US government and serves as a warning against foreign interference.
