Former Ambassador and diplomat Manuel Rocha was arrested in Miami after a long-running counterintelligence investigation.
According to the Associated Press, Rocha is being accused of working as an agent of Cuba’s government.
While more details are expected in court on Monday, those who spoke to reporters said that Rocha was working with the Cuban government to promote its interests within the United States.
Over the past several years, the Justice Department has cracked down on individuals who have neglected to register as a foreign agent, as required by law.
