15 years in prison: Former US ambassador sentenced for spying for Cuba
Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
  • Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

  • Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

  • The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

  • The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.

Russia rejects US journalist Evan Gershkovich’s detention appeal
Quick Glance: Moscow Court Upholds Extension of Detention for Reporter Evan Gershkovich
  • Following the rejection of Evan Gershkovich's appeal, a reporter for the Wall Street Journal, he will remain in custody on espionage charges until at least late June.

  • Detained in late March 2023 during a reporting trip, the 32-year-old US citizen has spent over a year in prison, with his detention being regularly prolonged and his appeals being turned down.

  • Experts suggest that Moscow might be leveraging jailed Americans as leverage in the escalating tensions between the US and Russia due to the Kremlin's military operation in Ukraine.

  • Gershkovich's arrest marks the first time since September 1986 that an American reporter has been detained in Russia on espionage charges, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was apprehended by the KGB.

  • The British duo is alleged to have transmitted 'articles, notes, documents or information' to a foreign state between 2021 and the previous year.

  • In September, the Met Police disclosed the arrest of a man in his twenties on espionage suspicions. The Sunday Times revealed his parliamentary researcher identity.
