AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE, A Taiwanese man was sentenced to six and a half years in prison Monday for trying to buy U.S. military missiles and aircraft engines for China, Miami federal prosecutors said.
Ko-suen Moo, also known as Bill Moo, was arrested last November and accused together with French citizen Maurice Serge Voros of conspiring to acquire air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles and engines for F-16 fighter jets and Blackhawk helicopters to send to China.
Moo was convicted of being an unregistered agent for China and of conspiring to illegally broker and export military-related equipment to China. He was also charged with attempted bribery for having tried to buy his freedom from the officers who arrested him.
In addition to his prison sentence he was fined one million dollars.
