A New York City police officer accused of spying for China was ordered detained Wednesday while he awaits trial and could face denaturalization and removal from the United States after a possible prison sentence, a federal judge said.
Federal Judge Eric Komitee ordered the detention of Queens cop Baimadajie Angwang after prosecutors appealed a magistrate judge's decision to grant him $1 million bond and confine him to house arrest. Prosecutors argued that Angwang could slip away from authorities possibly by seeking asylum in the Chinese consulate in Manhattan thereby evading justice.
"Defendant clearly has strong ties to China, a country with which the United States has no extradition treaty," Komitee's order reads, adding that given the evidence against Angwang, the court concluded he "poses a serious risk of flight."
