US drops case against NYC cop accused of spying for China

NEW YORK, 21 January 2023, (TON): Charges against a New York City police officer accused of spying on behalf of China were formally dropped after US prosecutors said they uncovered new information that warranted the dismissal.

It ended a two-year ordeal for Baimadajie Angwang, a naturalized US citizen born in Tibet, who spent about six months in custody before being granted bail.

He had been accused of spying on expatriate Tibetans in New York on behalf of officials at the Chinese consulate in the city.

Assistant US Attorney Matthew Hagans told the judge “the decision was based on all the evidence and information developed.”
