with espionage after prosecutors say he stole details of a cancer-fighting
compound that he wanted to share with China.
Prosecutors say Hua Jun Zhao stole the compound, C-25, and data that led
to its development.
A federal complaint says investigators found several hundred items
related to research into C-25 on Zhao's computer. Authorities found a grant
application from Zhao, written in Mandarin, claiming he discovered the
compound and seeking Chinese funding to continue research.
The 42-year-old Zhao is charged with economic espionage, which carries a
maximum 15 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
Public defender Juval Scott didn't immediately return a message Tuesday
from The Associated Press. She tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that
Zhao is a "talented professional."
