Elsa Alvarez

Elsa Alvarez

Elsa Alvarez (born 1950), along with her husband Carlos Alvarez, is accused of spying on Cuban exile groups in the United States on behalf of the Cuban government.

Elsa Alvarez was born in Cuba, and gained United States citizenship in 1979. She married Carlos Alvarez the following year, and later took up a position at Florida International University, where he worked. In January 2006, both were arrested for passing information to the Cuban General Intelligence Directorate. It is alleged that she had been spying independently of her husband before they met, but her lawyers claim that she opposed her husband's work, and tried to persuade him to stop — she was eventually released on bail (unlike her husband), with a District Court judge describing the case against her as "not very strong".
