UNITED STATES – A former American diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested in a long-running FBI counterintelligence investigation and is accused of secretly serving as an agent of Cuba’s government.

The Associated Press reports 73-year-old Manuel Rocha was arrested in Miami on Friday on a criminal complaint and more details about the case are expected to be made public at a court appearance today.

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.
