Dec. 19--Almost one year after his arrest jolted Miami, former Florida International University professor Carlos Alvarez pleaded guilty today to conspiring to be an unregistered agent who informed on the Cuban exile community for the communist government of Fidel Castro.

His wife Elsa, an FIU counselor on leave, also pleaded guilty in Miami federal court to being aware of his illegal activity, harboring him and failing to disclose it to authorities.

By pleading guilty, the Alvarezes averted a difficult jury trial next month on the more serious, previous charge of being Cuban agents who did not register with the U.S. government, an offense that carries up to 10 years in prison.

The plea deals were struck after a judge decided to allow a major piece of incriminating evidence at trial -- Carlos Alvarez's "confession" last year to the FBI of his collaboration with Cuban intelligence agents, including use of a home computer, encrypted disks and travel to the island nation.
