Almaty. October 9. Silkroadnews – China denies involvement in cyberattacks in the U.S. targeting exiled oligarch, The Straits Times reported.
“China has denied responsibility for alleged cyber-attacks in the United States appearing to target exiled tycoon Guo Wengui, who has levelled corruption allegations against senior Communist Party officials and applied for political asylum,” the report reads.
As stated by China’s Ministry of Public Security, during the investigation it was found that there is no evidence of the involvement of the Chinese government in the alleged cyberattacks.
Law enforcement officers of the People’s Republic of China said that China also provided the U.S. government with evidence that Guo, who has applied for political asylum in the United States, fabricated the documents he used to support the petition. It is reported that China intends to make an official request for the U.S. authorities to investigate the issue.
“The falsified official documents and the false information he fabricated are sensational and outrageous,” statement by the ministry’s officials is quoted.
To remind, Guo Wengui, also known as Miles Kwok, has used Twitter and YouTube to post his claims of corruptions committed by Chinese top officials from his $68 million apartment overlooking Central Park in Manhattan.
Guo’s actions provoked the ire of the Chinese government. In April, Beijing asked Interpol to issue a global warrant for his arrest. In addition, the courts in the U.S. consider several lawsuits on Guo’s slander, and the Chinese media accuse Guo of fraud, money laundering and rape.
The decision to grant Guo asylum may be complicated by the fact that he has passports from many countries, including the United Arab Emirates, and is no longer a citizen of China.
