A Cuban national imprisoned for nearly two decades as an American spy
is now in the United States, his family said Tuesday, the first
confirmation of the former U.S. agent’s whereabouts since he was
released in last month’s deal to overhaul ties with Cuba.
Rolando Sarraff, a cryptographer with Cuba’s Directorate of Intelligence, was imprisoned in
1995 on suspicion that he was passing secrets to the United States.
Information provided by Sarraff helped U.S. officials dismantle networks
of Cuban spies in the United States, one illustration of the mutual
hostility that characterized U.S. dealings with Communist Cuba for more
than 50 years.
