Three men, including a former NYPD officer, have been convicted of stalking a New Jersey family on behalf of the Chinese government as part of Operation Fox Hunt, the Chinese Communist Party's alleged anti-corruption campaign. The defendants were found guilty of conspiracy and stalking charges, with two also convicted of illegally acting as an agent of the People's Republic of China. The guilty verdicts are the first trial victory in the US Department of Justice's efforts to combat Operation Fox Hunt. Three other defendants have pleaded guilty in connection with their roles in the PRC-directed harassment and intimidation campaign.
