ALLEGED SPY GETS BAIL
THE CANADIAN PRESS
LONGUEUIL, QUE. Yuesheng Wang, 35, a former HydroQuébec worker charged with spying on behalf of China, was granted bail Monday after a judge said the accused was more likely than not to stay in Canada for trial. Wang is the first person to be charged with economic espionage under Canada’s Security of Information Act. He also faces charges of fraudulently using a computer, fraudulently obtaining a trade secret and breach of trust. Wang agreed to surrender his passport, carry a cellphone at all times so police can geolocate him and put up his two properties as a guarantee. Wang must also check in weekly at RCMP headquarters and can’t contact the government in Beijing.
