Manuel Rocha, a former American diplomat who served as US ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested in a long-running FBI counterintelligence investigation and accused of secretly serving as an agent of Cuba’s government, Joshua Goodman and Eric Tucker report for the Associated Press. Undisclosed sources claim that the Justice Department case accuses Rocha of working to promote the Cuban government’s interests. Rocha also served in Italy, Honduras, Mexico and the Dominican Republic, and worked as a Latin America expert for the National Security Council. The Justice Department declined to comment. It was not immediately clear if Rocha had a lawyer and a law firm where he previously worked said it was not representing him.
