Eugenio Martinez, the last surviving burglar of the five arrested at the Watergate Hotel in 1972 while breaking into the Democratic National Committee headquarters, has died at the age of 98, The Washington Post reports.
Martinez's death was announced by the group Children of the Brigade 2506, which did not state a cause of death. The group is named for the Cuban exiles that the CIA helped during the Bay of Pigs Invasion in 1961 — a group that included Martinez.
"I can't help seeing the whole Watergate affair as a repetition of the Bay of Pigs," he told Harper's Magazine in an interview in 1974. "The invasion was a fiasco for the United States and a tragedy for the Cubans."
Martinez's arrest at the Watergate in 1972 led to the congressional investigations that prompted former President Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974. Martinez was charged with and pleaded guilty to conspiracy, burglary, and wiretapping in January 1973. He was pardoned by former President Ronald Reagan in 1983.
