A Chinese FBI double agent is caught in Budapest

According to 444.hu, Index noticed and interesting detail in the enquiry documents of former FBI technician Joey Chun: the man, who was actually working for the Chinese, was caught in Budapest.

Chun – whose original name is probably Kun Shan Chun – had been working for FBI since 1997, he admitted at an American court on Monday that he had been giving secret information to China and spied on commission of the Chinese government. (Among others, he gave out information about the identity and travel plans of an FBI agent, but he also sent photos of secret locations.)

The reason why he admitted spying is that he was caught: last year FBI sent an undercover agent after him, he took him into his confidence, so Chun unveiled himself to him.

Budapest came into the picture when Chun traveled to the Hungarian capital last July to meet his Chinese contact in a restaurant (the restaurant is unfortunately unknown). For some reason their meeting was canceled but he was given 500 euros to have fun in Budapest.
