A Mexican scientist has been sentenced to four years in prison for spying on “a U.S. government source” on behalf of Russia.
Hector Cabrera Fuentes, 37, pled guilty in February to acting on behalf of a foreign government without notifying American authorities.
“I have deep regrets and remorse for my actions and I apologize to the United States,” said Mr. Cabrera Fuentes, according to Agence France-Presse. “Everyone makes mistakes in his life and this is my big mistake.”
Mr. Cabrera Fuentes, a biochemist and cardiovascular researcher who also lived in Singapore, was arrested in Miami in 2020.
