A former FBI informant recruited by the U.S. government to spy on China and its intelligence services was indicted Thursday on charges that she illegally obtained secret documents from an FBI agent who was her handler and allegedly her lover. Katrina Leung was charged in a five-count indictment of obtaining, copying and retaining documents connected with U.S. national defense without authorization, but does not face an espionage charge. The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles where Leung, 49, of San Marino, California, has been jailed without bond since her April 9 arrest. The indictment listed three counts of unauthorized possession of documents relating to national defense and two counts of copying documents connected with the U.S. national defense with reason to believe that they would be used to the benefit of another country.
