Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have dropped their case against a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer who had been accused of acting as a foreign agent on behalf of the Chinese regime.

Baimadajie Angwang, a 33-year-old ethnic Tibetan and naturalized U.S. citizen, was arrested in September 2020 on charges of allegedly acting as an illegal agent of Beijing as well as committing wire fraud, making false statements, and obstructing an official proceeding.
