Former American diplomat Manuel Rojas, who served as a US spy in Bolivia, has been arrested in Miami on charges of engaging in covert operations, according to the Associated Press. The investigation sources revealed that Rojas’ arrest is connected to allegations of attempting to infiltrate the management of the Cuban government’s assets. The court hearing, scheduled for Thursday, is expected to provide more detailed information about the case.

It is worth noting that the legislation requires individuals involved in the political orders of foreign countries or organizations on US territory to register in a court of law. Recent intensification of the investigation into the unauthorized support of foreign assets has prompted a closer look at Rojas’ activities.

Manuel Rojas, who has had a remarkable 25-year diplomatic career, has not only served as a geopolitical analyst but has also held significant roles within senior governmental structures. Notably, he was involved in diplomatic duties during the Cold War in Latin America, including working in the Cuban section of the US embassy at a time when diplomatic relations with Fidel Castro’s communist government were non-existent.
