The Justice Department unveiled criminal charges against an ex-Apple engineer who stole company secrets, including the entire source code for a self-driving-vehicle project, while secretly working for a Chinese competitor.
Federal prosecutors unveiled that case yesterday, one of five cases that are part of a broader barrage unleashed this week by the department against Russian and Chinese tech-transfer operations. These cases were coordinated by the Disruptive Technology Strike Force, a joint effort by Justice and the Commerce Department. Four people were arrested, while several others remain at large abroad.
