Former CIA Officer Pleads Guilty To Spying For China
A former CIA Officer pleaded guilty Friday to espionage charges in a federal courtroom in Honolulu, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, a 72-year-old former CIA officer and FBI contract linguist, pleaded guilty to espionage charges and admitted to spying for China over a decade, according to AP. This guilty plea follows his 2020 arrest after a comprehensive investigation by the U.S. Justice Department, which gathered substantial evidence against him, including a video from 2001 showing Ma engaging in espionage activities.
