China and Iran are using a new tactic to go after their enemies in the US – the FBI
Foreign authoritarian regimes violate U.S. laws to intimidate certain communities.
The governments of China and Iran periodically hire private detectives to track down dissidents, followed by criminal prosecutions for related violations, Reuters reports.
The FBI notes that these tactics and lines of conduct are novel and intersect, something not previously seen in investigations of Chinese and Iranian activities on U.S. soil. The goals of such transnational repressive schemes are multifaceted and aimed at influencing US policy decisions through malicious influence. The FBI hopes to raise awareness of such trends and alert the private detective sector, as well as state and local law enforcement agencies.
«We’ve really seen a tipping point in the tactics and the tools and the level of risk and the level of threat that has changed over the last few years,» said an unnamed FBI counterintelligence official.
