SUMMARY

A retired Hong Kong Police superintendent, Bill Yuen, and UK Border Force officer, Peter Wai, were found guilty of spying for China. They assisted a foreign intelligence service from December 2023 to May 2024 under the National Security Act. The jury could not reach a verdict on another charge of foreign interference, and prosecutors will not seek a retrial. Wai also faced a misconduct charge for accessing Home Office databases improperly.

Prosecutors claimed Yuen led a spying operation from the Hong Kong Economic Trade Office and directed Wai and others in "shadow policing" activities in the UK.
