Ana Montes Biography
Ana Montes is one of the most popular and richest Intelligence Analyst who was born on February 28, 1957 in West Germany, . Montes joined the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in September 1985 after working for the United States Department of Justice. Her first assignment was at Bolling Air Force Base in Washington where she worked as an intelligence research specialist. In 1992, Montes was selected for the DIA’s Exceptional Analyst Program and later traveled to Cuba to study the Cuban military.
Montes was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation at her office on September 21, 2001, soon after the September 11th attacks. Prosecutors stated that Montes had been privy to classified information about the US military’s impending invasion of Afghanistan in October 2001, and that they did not want her revealing this information to potential enemies.
In 2002, Montes pleaded guilty to the charge which could have carried the death penalty, but was sentenced to 25 years in prison in October of the same year after accepting a plea agreement with the US government. According to her lawyer, Plato Cacheris, Montes committed the espionage for moral reasons, as “she felt the Cubans were treated unfairly by the U.S. government.”
Montes advanced rapidly through the ranks at the DIA and became its most senior Cuban analyst. Her co-workers regarded her as responsible and dependable, and noted her “no-nonsense” attitude. Prosecutors would later allege that Montes was already working for the Cubans when she joined the DIA in 1985.
Montes had been recruited by Cuban Intelligence while she was a university student at Johns Hopkins University in the 1980’s.She became known to other students for her strong opinions in support of left wing Latin American movements like the Sandinista National Liberation Front in Nicaragua. A Cuban agent eventually approached her. After recruiting her, the Cuban Intelligence Service groomed her to pursue employment with the Defence Intelligence Agency.
Carmichael, who had led the DIA investigation of Montes, named her as being directly responsible for the death of Green Beret Sergeant Gregory A. Fronius who was killed at El Paraíso, El Salvador, on March 31, 1987, during the FMLN attack. Carmichael characterized the damage Montes caused to the DIA and other US intelligence agencies as “exceptionally grave,” and stated that she compromised a “special access program” that was kept even from him, the lead investigator on her case.
