A former Canadian Space Agency (CSA) engineer has been charged with breach of trust for allegedly working on behalf of a Chinese aerospace company, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) says.

Wanping Zheng, 61, was charged by a public officer on Dec. 7, after an investigation by the RCMP pointed to “illegal activities” carried out alongside his duties at the CSA.
