Chinese intelligence officials allegedly bribed a double-agent with the FBI to steal information related to an active criminal investigation against a global company.
Two intelligence officers from the People’s Republic of China (PRC) attempted to bribe a U.S. intelligence agent with $ 61,000 in bitcoin, per a release from the Justice Department.
“Today’s complaint underscores the unrelenting efforts of the PRC government to undermine the rule of law,” stated United States Attorney Breon Peace.
