DOJ Arrests Former CIA Officer for Chinese Espionage

(Worthy News) – The Department of Justice on Monday announced the arrest of a former CIA officer on charges of leaking sensitive information to Chinese intelligence officials.

Court documents revealed that Alexander Yuk Ching Ma, who served as a CIA officer during the 1980s on a top-secret clearance basis, allegedly met with Chinese officials in a series of 2001 meetings in Hong Kong, where he agreed to exchange sensitive information about CIA operations for money.

Ma, a naturalized American citizen who lived in Shanghai following his time at the CIA, later joined the FBI in 2004 as a contractor and language specialist. During his time at the FBI, Ma traveled to China and provided classified documents to Chinese officials in exchange for thousands of dollars and expensive gifts.
