In yet another China-connected espionage case, a former software
engineer for Motorola Solutions Inc., the new corporate name for
Motorola, Inc. based in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, IL, was
sentenced Wednesday to four years in federal prison for her theft of
trade secrets.
According to an FBI official, Hanjuan Jin, a naturalized U.S. citizen born in China, was secretly working for a company in the People's Republic in China that designed and created telecommunications technology for the Chinese military.
The 41-year old spy was detained by U.S. Customs agents at Chicago's O’Hare International Airport after they stopped her from traveling on a one-way ticket to China in February 2007.
The Customs agents discovered more than 1,000 computers disks and paper Motorola documents in Jin’s possession as she attempted to leave the United States. The federal agents also recovered approximately $30,000 in U.S. currency that was in six different envelopes, each containing $5,000, all in hundred dollar bills according to Justice Department records.
Jin, who resided in Aurora after moving from Schaumburg, was a nine-year Motorola software engineer who conducted a “purposeful raid to steal technology,” U.S. District Judge Ruben Castillo said in imposing the sentence in Federal Court in Chicago.
