Chinese military scientist accused of obstructing DOJ investigation into her visa fraud at Stanford
[WashingtonExaminer] The Justice Department broadened its charges against a Chinese military scientist who concealed her ties to the People’s Liberation Army as a researcher at Stanford University, accusing her of attempting to obstruct the investigation into her student visa fraud.Federal prosecutors announced a superseding indictment against Chen Song, 39, this week, charging her with "visa fraud, obstruction of justice, destruction of documents, and false statements in connection with a scheme to conceal and lie about her status" as a member of China’s military while she was inside the United States. Song had already been hit with charges in July 2020 and an indictment in January, but the details were laid out over how she lied about her Chinese military service ending in 2011 when she applied for a work-and-study-based exchange visitor program visa and allegedly study brain diseases at Stanford University. In reality, she was still secretly a part of the Chinese military, prosecutors said. Posted by: trailing wife 2021-02-21 |
