He recently held senior roles at XCoal, a Pennsylvania-based coal exporter, Clover Leaf Capital, a company facilitating mergers in the cannabis industry, and law firm Foley & Lardner. Rocha left Foley & Lardner in August.
Reactions and Investigations
As news of Rocha’s arrest spreads, reactions from entities associated with him have varied.
His wife, Karla Wittkop Rocha, declined to comment, while the law firm Foley & Lardner confirmed his departure.
XCoal and Clover Leaf Capital have yet to respond to requests for comments. Spanish public relations firm Llorente & Cuenca’s U.S. operations, where Rocha held a senior role, stated their commitment to transparency and cooperation with authorities.
The arrest of a former U.S. ambassador accused of being an agent of Cuba adds a new layer of complexity to the ever-evolving landscape of international espionage. As the case unfolds, the details of Rocha’s alleged activities will become public. The broader implications for U.S. foreign policy of 25-years-ago will also come under a microscope.
