| [DM] A former NYPD sergeant is accused of helping Chinese spies embedded in New York and New Jersey track down dissidents on behalf of their government and threaten to harm their families unless they returned to the 'homeland' to go to prison as part of a program dubbed Operation Fox Hunt. Michael McMahon is on trial in New York City along with Zhu Yong and Zheng Congying as acting as Chinese agents to track down dissidents who had fled and intimidate them into returning. The trial began today with opening statements from US federal prosecutors. McMahon was working as a private investigator after retiring from the NYPD when he was contracted by the Chinese government to track down victim Xu Jin and intimidate him, according to prosecutors. |
