A lieutenant at the naval air station in Jacksonville, Florida, has been arrested and faces multiple federal charges, including running a “firearm tourism” business for Chinese tourists and being part of a scheme to illegally export military-grade inflatable boats to a Chinese government agency.
The FBI and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service raided the home of Lt. Fan Yang and his wife, Yang Yang, on Oct. 17 and arrested them, according to Jacksonville local broadcaster News4Jax, which first reported about the case. Yang worked in the U.S. Navy Anti-Submarine Warfare unit.
