Gregg W. Bergersen Sentenced in Chinese Spy Case
by John Little on 12/07/2008The former analyst for the Pentagon got off easy – with a 57 month sentence:
The judge, Leonie M. Brinkema, rejected the prosecutor’s request that the former analyst, Gregg W. Bergersen, be sentenced to 87 months for having provided sensitive information to Tai Shen Kuo, a native of Taiwan who has lived in Louisiana for more than 30 years.
Mr. Kuo duped Mr. Bergersen into believing that he was obtaining information for the government of Taiwan, an ally of the United States. In fact, Mr. Kuo was working for the intelligence service of China, according to court filings.
Mr. Kuo and another accomplice, Yu Xin Kang, face possible life terms at their sentencing later this summer.
The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies has more details on the case.
