FORMER CIA CASE OFFICER PLEADS GUILTY TO SPYING FOR CHINA:
On 01 May, former CIA case officer Jerry Chun Shing LEE (53) pleaded guilty to conspiring to transmit national defense information to China. LEE has been connected to one of the biggest breaches in U.S. intelligence history, which compromised the U.S. intelligence network in China. Approximately 20 American agents were compromised in the breach between 2010 and 2012. These agents were either executed or imprisoned by China. He faces up to life in prison and is scheduled to be sentenced in August 2019.
1989: US Army Specialist Michael A. PERI is sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on an espionage conviction. Peri abandoned his post in Fulda, West Germany, suddenly defecting to the GDR, taking with him a laptop and classified materials. He voluntarily turned himself in 12 days later.
“The indictment alleges a textbook example of the Chinese government’s strategy to rob American companies of their intellectual property and to replicate their products in Chinese factories, enabling Chinese companies to replace the American company first in the Chinese market and later worldwide. We will not stand idly by while the world’s second-largest economy engages in state-sponsored theft. As part of the Attorney General’s China Initiative, we will partner with the private sector to hold responsible those who violate our laws, and we urge China’s leaders to join responsible nations and to act with honesty and integrity when competing in the global marketplace.” - Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, 23 April 2019.
