He allegedly secretly supported Cuba and its intelligence efforts against the US while working in the State Department from 1981 to 2002. Rocha later advised the Commander of the US Southern Command, whose area includes Cuba. He is accused of providing false information to maintain his secret status and travel to meet Cuban intel operatives.
