FBI: Another Cuban spy caught in Miami

MIAMI - Another spy for Cuba has been arrested in Miami, the federal Immigration and Naturalization Service and FBI said on Thursday.

The arrest was part of the continuing Operation Royal Flush, which resulted in the FBI arrests and convictions of 10 other Cuban spies who were operating in South Florida. Jailed this time was Juan Emilio Aboy, 41. The joint INS-FBI investigation that led to his arrest concluded Aboy was an agent of the Cuban Intelligence Service, was taught espionage there and had used his skills after entering the United States.

Aboy was arrested without incident at his residence at 11800 SW 26th Terrace in Miami. He worked for the past several years at a Miami dive shop. He came to America in 1996.

He is charged with being a deportable alien because he allegedly violated Section 851 of U.S. Code Title 50.

Said Immigration Court said INS District Counsel Dan Vara: "It is illegal for any alien who has knowledge of, instruction or an assignment in the espionage service or tactics of a foreign government to fail to register with the Attorney General within a specified time after entering the United States."
