U.S. officials have arrested two New York residents for allegedly operating a Chinese 'secret police station' in Manhattan. 'This prosecution reveals the Chinese government's flagrant violation of our nation's sovereignty,' a federal prosecutor said.
NEW YORK - U.S. law enforcement officials have arrested two New York residents for allegedly operating a Chinese "secret police station" in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, the top federal prosecutor in Brooklyn said in a statement on Monday.
The charges come as the Department of Justice ramps up probes into what they call attempts at "transnational repression" by U.S. adversaries such as China and Iran to intimidate political opponents living in the United States. Prosecutors said Lu in 2018 sought to persuade an individual considered a fugitive by China to return home, prosecutors said. That individual reported being harassed and threatened, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors said the pair had admitted to the FBI that they deleted their communications with a Chinese government official after learning that they were under investigation.
