A U.S. professor has been arrested for using over $4 million in federal grant money to benefit China’s research in rheumatology and immunology.
Zheng Songguo, 57, a rheumatology professor at the Ohio State University (OSU), was arrested in Alaska on May 22, before he could fly to China on a charter flight, according to a July 9 press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ). When he was arrested, he was carrying multiple items, including several USB drives, three cellphones, and a briefcase containing two laptops.
