The federal government will not seek restitution from a former career American diplomat who acted as a spy for the Cuban government for decades.

A former career American diplomat was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday after authorities say he served as a secret agent for communist Cuba going back decades in what prosecutors portrayed as one of the most brazen and long-running betrayals in the history of the U.S. foreign service.

A former career U.S. diplomat says he will plead guilty to charges of serving as a secret agent for communist Cuba going back decades.

The narrative reads like a spy novel. A decades-long double life, a trusted highly-placed state department diplomat with security clearance, accused of allegiance instead to Cuba and its revolution.

The Justice Department says a former American diplomat who served as U.S. ambassador to Bolivia has been charged with serving as a covert agent for Cuba’s intelligence services since at least 1981.

The Associated Press has learned that 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 the Cuban government.
