Carlos Alvarez, 61, a psychology professor at Florida International University.

Elsa Alvarez is a social worker in the university’s counseling center.


Carlos Alvarez had worked at the university since 1974 and has tenure. His wife has worked at the university since 1990. Riordan said that the university had no indication until Monday of anything unusual about either Alvarez.




The indictment released by the Department of Justice states that the couple reported to Cuban officials about actions of the anti-Castro movement in the United States and recruited “young people” of Cuban descent to be spies for the Castro government. The indictment and press release did not indicate whether these recruitment activities involved the couple’s university positions, but the Associated Press quoted federal prosecutors as saying that Carlos Alvarez had organized exchange trips to Cuba with the goal of indoctrinating students.

He has tenure, whoa boy ! That means he's, academically-speaking, a made guy.
