Federal prosecutors are challenging the ruling of a B.C. court which found a former Mountie not guilty of acting on behalf of the Chinese regime.

The Public Prosecution Service of Canada filed the notice of appeal in the B.C. Court of Appeal on June 11. The service is asking for the acquittal to be set aside and for a new trial to be held.
