A former employee of Quebec's hydro utility, who works in the division that develops technology for electric vehicles, made a first appearance in court Tuesday on charges that he fraudulently obtained a trade secret for the benefit of China, and he was ordered to remain detained ahead of a bail hearing.
LONGUEUIL, Que. — A former employee of Quebec's hydro utility, who works in the division that develops technology for electric vehicles, made a first appearance in court Tuesday on charges that he fraudulently obtained a trade secret for the benefit of China, and he was ordered to remain detained ahead of a bail hearing.
Federal prosecutor Marc Cigana objected to bail in Wang's case, telling the court the Crown fears that the suspect is a flight risk. Quebec's hydro utility said Wang was a researcher who worked on battery materials with the Center of Excellence in Transportation Electrification and Energy Storage, known as CETEES. The centre develops technology for electric vehicles and for energy-storage systems.The RCMP alleges that Wang conducted research for Chinese research centres and a Chinese university and that he published scientific articles and filed patents with them rather than with the Quebec utility.
The case was put off until Friday, when more evidence will be disclosed and when the parties will discuss scheduling a bail hearing.CASE CALLED ‘UNUSUAL’ "It takes us into the world of university research and university publications and it's an important area to wade into, but also very complex in terms of being able to then reach back and pin an economic espionage charge against him."
