WASHINGTON — The Justice Department charged a Harvard University professor with lying about money he received from the Chinese government, part of the U.S. government's effort to prosecute theft of American trade secrets.
Charles Lieber, chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard, was arrested Tuesday on accusations that he made a materially false, fictitious and fraudulent statement about work he did for a program run by the Chinese government that seeks to lure American talent to China.
Lieber was paid $50,000 a month and up to $158,000 in living expenses for his work, which involved cultivating young teachers and students, according to court documents. He also received more than $1.5 million to
create a research lab at the Wuhan University of Technology in China.
