Madrid - The sister of a convicted Cuban spy traded to the US for jailed Cuban intelligence agents but out of sight for nearly a month says he is fine in the US.
Vilma Sarraff told The Associated Press on Tuesday she spoke for the first time with 51-year-old Rolando Sarraff since his December 17 release. She declined to offer more details.
He was identified by a former US official as the released spy who President Barack Obama hailed as one of Washington's most valuable assets.
Vilma Sarraff, who lives in Spain, and her parents who are in Cuba, were never told where Rolando Sarraff went after his release amid a big thaw in US-Cuban relations.
Cuban officials told the parents only that their son was better off.
