Controversy and espionage during the Cold war.
Mr. Rovira operated as an agent for the Czech intelligence agency (STB) under the codename "Veslar". Rovira was one of the 20 collaborators the agency had in Uruguay during the Coldwar and provided the agency with sensible material about the military, the police as well as facilitated visa arrangements for other collaborators while at the Ministry of the Interior. According to the files released by the Czech agency and discovered by researchers Vladimír Petrilák and Mauro Abranches Kraenski, Rovira was one of the most valuable contacts of the agency, as well as he was considered by agents as an "extreme right wing" character.
