Former Florida International University psychology professor Carlos Alvarez and his wife Elsa Alvarez, also a former university employee, are accused of being unregistered agents.
Specifically, they are accused of being Cuban Spies
The detention of accused Cuban agent Elsa Alvarez was discussed in federal court Wednesday, about five months after she was jailed for allegedly sending information to the Cuban government.
Alvarez, a counselor at Florida International University, and her husband, FIU psychology Professor Carlos Alvarez, were arrested in January. The couple is accused of being unregistered agents for Cuba.
Jane Moscowitz, a lawyer for Elsa Alvarez, said that a federal judge would decide in the next couple of weeks if Alvarez will be released on bond.
Moscowitz said that the court gave a strong indication that it was leaning toward granting Alvarez a bond, subject to certain conditions as she awaits trial.
The court did not indicate the amount of the bond, Moscowitz said.
