Statist filth: Former DIA officer charged with trying to pass secrets to Chinese intelligence

A former Defense Intelligence Agency officer was arrested over the weekend by the FBI, charged with trying to ferry U.S. government secrets to Chinese spies and taking at least $800,000 in suspicious funds flowing from China, according to newly unsealed court documents.

Ron Rockwell Hansen of Syracuse, Utah, was arrested Saturday afternoon, capping a four-year FBI investigation that tracked alleged payments and communications with Chinese intelligence agents.
Officials said he was arrested after a sting operation near the Seattle airport, as he was headed toward a China-bound flight.
Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers said that Hansen “allegedly attempted to transmit national defense information to the People’s Republic of China’s intelligence services (PRCIS) and also allegedly received hundreds of thousands of dollars while illegally acting as an agent of China.”
Demers called the conduct described in a criminal complaint against Hansen “a betrayal of our nation’s security and the American people.” Hansen was in federal custody Monday and could not immediately be reached for comment.
Hansen’s arrest is the latest in a flurry of recent espionage cases involving China.
Former CIA officer Jerry Chun Shing Lee was indicted on espionage charges last month, while Kevin Mallory, another ex-CIA officer, is on trial in Virginia on espionage charges.
While there is nothing to indicate that the three cases are connected, all three men are accused of trying to sell secrets for money to relieve financial burdens in their lives.
Hansen, 58, worked as a military intelligence case officer at the DIA from 2000 to 2006, when he retired from the military. Between 2006 and 2011, he did contract work for the DIA, according to the criminal complaint.
