A longtime State Department employee who held a top position in the agency’s intelligence division was arrested Thursday, along with his wife, and charged with committing brazen espionage on behalf of Cuba for nearly three decades.
Walter Kendall Myers, 72, and Gwendolyn Myers, 71, were accused of being dedicated, ideologically-motivated agents on behalf of the Communist government. The pair met directly with Fidel Castro at least once, around New Year’s Day in 1995, according to an affidavit prosecutors filed in federal court.
