Airline exec charged with smuggling goods out of US for Chinese officials
AN ex airline manager has been charged with smuggling packages for Chinese military officers stationed at the United Nations in New York, Bloomberg reports.
Ying Lin, 46, who worked as a station chief for an unspecified international carrier at Newark Liberty International Airport, smuggled the packages on flights to China in exchange for discounted liquor purchased from diplomatic duty-free shops and other benefits, according to a statement Wednesday from the US attorney in Brooklyn.
Ms Ying continued to smuggle packages out of the US even after she had been charged last year with so-called structuring, making multiple bank transactions of less than US$10,000 to avoid the banks' federal reporting requirement, prosecutors said.
She also helped a Chinese national who was the target of a federal inquiry escape on board a flight from John F Kennedy International Airport in New York, according to the statement.
