New Charges in University of Michigan Bio-Smuggling Case

Federal agents uncover new charges against three Chinese scholars linked to the University of Michigan, accused of smuggling restricted biological materials without proper authorization. The shipments, mislabeled to conceal their true nature, were intended for a research lab but lacked necessary permits. The defendants allegedly provided false information to customs, violating biosecurity regulations. This follows earlier charges against two Chinese nationals and another researcher for similar offenses. The University of Michigan denies any involvement of the charged individuals with the Chinese government, emphasizing their full cooperation with investigators. The Daily News Now! - Every city.
