Extensive espionage network operated since 1987 against the Castro regime in Cuba
The network contributed to dismantling significant Cuban espionage operations in the United States, including cases involving the spy Ana Belén Montes and the Wasp Network, among others
Cohen, who attended the presentation of the book "Queen of Cuba" by former FBI Special Agent Peter J. Lapp on the evening of Friday, December 1st, escaped from the island on a raft to Florida in August 1994. His situation had become untenable, and he faced the danger of arrest and subsequent execution due to his espionage activities on behalf of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of the United States.
Cohen, identified as "Kevin" in Lapp's bestselling book on the case of the spy Ana Belén Montes, created a secret espionage network comprising more than twenty individuals. This network involved compartmentalized participation from officials of the Cuban Ministry of the Interior, foreign businessmen, collaborators, and agents of Cuban Intelligence. Their focus was on industrial espionage, along with the involvement of civilian collaborators.
