Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- Italian police arrested a 33-year-old Chinese man who is wanted by U.S. authorities for alleged industrial espionage, according to a Reuters report on Monday.
The suspect, identified as Xu Zewei from Shanghai, was apprehended last week at Milan’s Malpensa airport on a U.S. arrest warrant as part of an FBI investigation.
U.S. authorities claim Xu was part of a hacking team that attempted to access COVID vaccine research being developed by the University of Texas in 2020.
Xu faces multiple charges listed on the U.S. arrest warrant, including wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and unauthorized access to protected computers.
An extradition hearing is scheduled in Milan on Tuesday. Enrico Giarda, the Italian lawyer representing Xu, declined to comment on the case.
