Federal prosecutors announced Wednesday that a New York man has been convicted for helping operate what authorities described as a secret Chinese police station in lower Manhattan.
Lu Jianwang, also known as “Harry Lu,” was found guilty in federal court in Brooklyn after a trial that lasted a week.
The Bronx resident, who is a U.S. citizen, was convicted of acting as an illegal agent of theChinese Communist Partyand obstructing justice.
According to a Department of Justicepress release, Lu helped establish and operate a police station for China’s Ministry of Public Security in the heart of the United States’ most populous city.
The operation was allegedly run out of an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown.
Prosecutors said the station operated under the direction and control of the Chinese government.
The FBI searched the location in October 2022.
