The FBI has arrested the former deputy chief of staff of New York Governor Kathy Hochul and her husband following a raid at their home.
Linda Sun, 40, and her husband Chris Hu, 41, were taking into custody on Tuesday in Manhasset, Long Island, after their $3.5 five-bedroom mansion was searched in July by federal officials.
She is accused of enriching herself and her family by acting as an undisclosed agent of the Chinese Communist Party, federal prosecutors revealed in a sprawling indictment.
Sun is accused of blocking representatives of the Taiwanese government from having access to high-level New York State officers and changing messaging on issues that involved the CCP.
Prosecutors claim she used the proceeds of her illegal work to buy the Manhasset home as well as a $2.1 million condo in Hawaii and luxury vehicles including a 2024 Ferrari.
