Taiwanese faces up to 8 years in prison for acting as agent for China

A Taiwanese national who worked as an international sales representative for Lockheed Martin pleaded guilty Wednesday in Miami federal court to acting as a secret agent for communist China.

Ko-Suen Moo, 59, also admitted that he attempted to illegally obtain sophisticated weapons for the Chinese government and that after being arrested, he tried to bribe a prosecutor and a federal judge to drop the charges against him.

The case comes to a close after months of intrigue involving undercover agents, jailhouse snitches, claims of government misconduct and allegations that the Chinese government was paying Moo's legal bills.------------

U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta said Moo threatened national security by secretly negotiating the purchase of military-grade aircraft engines, air-to-air missiles and air-to-ground missiles for China.

Federal agents arrested Moo in November 2005 at a Fort Lauderdale hotel. Hours before his arrest, Moo finalized a deal with an undercover customs agent to buy an F-16 engine for $3.9 million and move it to China.
