Federal prosecutors drop charges against NYPD officer accused of spying for China
Federal prosecutors have dropped their case against an NYPD officer accused of spying on the Tibetan immigrant community for the Chinese government.
Angwang, who is of Tibetan ethnicity and gained asylum in the U.S., was working as a patrol officer for NYPD's 111th precinct in Queens where he was assigned to the Community Affairs Unit, which functions as a liaison between the NYPD and local communities. “If it’s good or not, you need to know about this for your work’s sake. They are the biggest venue for activities right now. If they are involved with politics, then in the future more than half of the meetings might take place there," Angwang said to the handler, according to court documents.
“These are not the actions of an individual who fears torture or persecution at the hands of the PRC [People's Republic of China], thus showing that his U.S. citizenship was secured through false pretenses,” according to the memo.
