..."Petty Officer Wenheng Zhao, 26, of Monterey Park, Calif., pleaded guilty to one count of conspiring with the intelligence officer and one count of receiving a bribe, both felonies, according to the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.
“Officer Zhao betrayed his country and the men and women of the US Navy by accepting bribes from a foreign adversary,” US Attorney Martin Estrada said Tuesday. “While he and the PRC officer he served took great pains to conceal their corrupt scheme, investigators were vigilant in uncovering this shameful plot.”
