Two agents of the People’s Republic of China are accused of running an illegal overseas police station for the Chinese government in New York City and then destroying evidence when confronted by the FBI, according to the feds.
In the police station case, two defendants were charged in connection with opening and operating an illegal overseas police station in lower Manhattan — for a provincial branch of the Ministry of Public Security of the People’s Republic of China. “Harry” Lu Jianwang, 61, of the Bronx, and Chen Jinping, 59, of Manhattan, were arrested at their homes in New York City.
The pair allegedly worked together to establish the first overseas police station in the U.S. on behalf of the Fuzhou branch of the MPS. The police station — which closed in the fall of 2022 after those operating it became aware of the FBI’s investigation — occupied a floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown.
