Trial set for retired cop, alleged Chinese agents in ‘Fox Hunt’ coerced repatriation scheme
charged in 2021
The defendants, who will sit at a jury trial presided over by Judge Pamela Chen starting Wednesday morning, each face up to 10 years behind bars if convicted. Following McMahon’s surveillance work, the alleged ringleaders of the plot — Chinese policeman Hu Ji and government prosecutor Tu Lan — are said to have conspired to send John Doe’s elderly father to the United States to communicate to the target that family members would be harmed should he not hightail back to China. The father was brought to the United States against his will, instructing him to lie to Border Control about the purpose of his visit and fibbing about who would pick him up.
