A Chinese and two Filipinos have been charged before a Makati court for allegedly conducting espionage activities in the Philippines, the National Bureau of Investigation said Thursday.“The case is now filed with the Makati court. In other words, the prosecutors themselves find prima facie evidence to gain conviction,” NBI Cybercrime Division chief Jeremy Lotoc said in a media briefing.The NBI arrested Deng Yuanqing and his two purported cohorts on January 17 for alleged espionage.
The Chinese man's wife and parents have denied the allegations.Meanwhile, anti-crime group Movement for Restoration of Peace and Order founding president Teresita Ang-See said she reached out to an expert who told her that the alleged equipment found in Yuangin’s vehicle are items that could be bought through online shopping retailers.
