Ana Montes, an American citizen convicted of spying for Cuba, has been released from U.S. federal prison in Fort Worth, Texas, according to Federal Bureau of Prison online records.
Montes for spying in the 1980s and she was employed by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency as an analyst from 1985-2001. She was eventually promoted to be the DIA's top Cuba analyst.
In early 2002, she was sentenced to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty to espionage. The judge who sentenced Montes ordered her to be supervised on release from prison for five years. In 1984, Montes was working a clerical job at the Justice Department in Washington and studying for a master's degree at Johns Hopkins University.
Her anger about U.S. foreign policy complicated her relationships and drew the attention of Cubans who enticed her to turn her back on friends, family and her own country. Four years later, DIA counterintelligence officer Scott Carmichael heard the FBI was looking for a mole -- an unidentified spy inside the DIA who was working for Cuba.
