Allegations Against Rocha
According to insider sources, the Justice Department’s case against Rocha alleges that he worked covertly to advance the interests of the Cuban government.

Recent years have witnessed an increased focus on enforcing laws related to illicit foreign lobbying, indicating a broader crackdown on such activities.
