The suspects are charged with Acting as Agents of Foreign Government without registering with the Attorney General and Destruction, Alteration or Falsification of Records in Federal Investigation, in violation of 18 USC 951 and 18 USC 1519, respectively. The second charge was due to their attempt to launder the payment money. The first charge carries a prison term up to 10 years. The second charge carries a prison term up to 20 years.
The full facts of the case can be found in the criminal complaint.
