December 31, 2019 at 9:58 am
Zaosong Zheng, 29, who last year earned a visa sponsored by
Harvard University to study in the U.S., appeared Monday in U.S. District Court in Boston.
Magistrate Judge David Hennessy ruled that evidence suggested Zheng had tried to
smuggle vials of research specimens in a sock in his suitcase bound for China and granted the prosecution’s request to hold him without bail.
He was arrested Dec. 10 at Boston’s Logan Airport on a charge of making false statements.
Zheng
stole the materials from his lab at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, authorities allege.
