Spain: FBI Offered Stolen Data from N Korea Embassy Attack

Tuesday, 26 March 2019 10:39 AM EDT

MADRID (AP) — A Spanish court has accused an American, Mexican and South Korean of an attack on the North Korean Embassy in February, saying the FBI was offered stolen data.

National Court judge Jose de la Mata on Tuesday lifted a secrecy order, announcing it had found evidence of various crimes, including trespassing, injuries, threats and burglary committed by "a criminal organization."

The investigating magistrate named Adrian Hong Chang, a Mexican national and resident in the United States, as the leader of a gang of 10 people who escaped in broad daylight on Feb. 22 after stealing computers and documents from the embassy, where they shackled and gagged its staff.

The judge says Hong Chang escaped Spanish authorities and flew to the U.S., where he got in touch with the FBI.
