About the probe
The indictment in the obstruction case related to Huawei accuses Chinese intelligence agents Guochun He and Zheng Wang of “attempt[ing] to direct a person they believed they recruited as an asset” inside a U.S. government law enforcement agency “to obtain confidential information regarding witnesses, trial evidence and potential new charges to be brought against [Huawei] for the purpose of obstructing justice.”
The DOJ previously unsealed an indictment in 2019 accusing Huawei of a racketeering and corruption conspiracy stemming from the company’s alleged practices “using fraud and deception to misappropriate sophisticated technology from U.S. counterparts.”
“This was an egregious attempt by [People’s Republic of China] intelligence officers to shield a PRC-based company from accountability and undermine the integrity of our judicial system,” Garland told reporters.
Those activities were part of the PRCs global, extra-legal effort known as ‘Operation Foxhunt,'” Garland said. “Its purpose is to locate and bring back to China alleged fugitives who have fled to foreign countries, including the United States. The PRC has a history of targeting political dissidents and critics of the government who have sought relief and refuge in other countries.”
