Miami (AFP) - A former US ambassador who pleaded guilty to spying for Cuba for over four decades was sentenced in federal court on Friday to 15 years in prison. Victor Manuel Rocha, 73, was arrested in December for what US officials called "one of the highest-reaching and longest-lasting infiltrations of the United States government by a foreign agent." Rocha pleaded not guilty in February to charges of conspiring to act as an agent of a foreign government but later accepted a plea deal with federal prosecutors. Judge Beth Bloom, after a three-and-a-half hour hearing in Miami on Friday, told R...

"C'est compliqué, (il faut calculer) où je vais acheter, quel est le taux de change, si c'est intéressant pour moi de changer", explique à l'AFP Pedro Gonzalez, un ingénieur de 68 ans, retraité depuis 2020, mais qui a repris du service voyant ses pesos "s'évaporer comme de l'eau".
