Federal prosecutors have charged a former University of Florida professor with concealing support he received from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while collecting $1.75 million in U.S. taxpayer grant money for research that benefited a firm he secretly founded in China.
Lin Yang, 43, lived in Tampa, Florida, when he committed the alleged offenses, which include six counts of wire fraud and four counts of making false statements, according to an indictment unsealed on Feb. 3.
