Border Force Officer and Two Others Charged with Alleged Espionage Ties to Hong Kong

A group of individuals, including Chi Leung "Peter" Wai, a UK Border Force officer and special constable, Chung Biu Yuen, a retired Hong Kong police officer, and Matthew Trickett, have been charged with assisting the Hong Kong intelligence service in an alleged foreign interference operation. According to reports, the trio was involved in forcing entry into a British address, which is considered unlawful. Wai, who works as an office manager at Hong Kong's Economic and Trade Office, has over 20 years of experience in the military, police, and private security sectors, according to his website. Yuen, also a retired Hong Kong police officer, serves as an office manager for the City of London. The charges are part of a high-profile effort by British authorities to combat foreign interference.
