Couple Indicted as alleged Cuban Spies
WASHINGTON (AP) - A retired State Department worker with top secret security clearance and his wife have been indicted on charges of spying for Cuba.
The indictment handed down by the attorney general’s office in Washington says Walter Kendall Myers and his wife, Gwendolyn Steingraber Myers, have been clandestine agents for Cuba for 30 years.
The indictment says the pair met with Cuban President Fidel Castro in Cuba in 1995, traveling through Mexico under false names. They allegedly made several other trips to Latin America and the Caribbean to meet with Cuban agents.
Kendall Myers worked at the State Department’s Foreign Service Institute, where he specialized in European matters, before retiring in 2007. The indictment says in his last year of employment, Kendall Myers viewed more than 200 intelligence reports related to Cuba.
