Apple has 'deep concerns' that ex-employees accused of theft will flee to China


Prosecutors allege Chen took from Apple more than 2,000 files containing 'manuals, schematics, diagrams and photographs of computer screens showing pages in Apple’s secure databases' with intent to share them. — Reuters

Apple Inc on Monday told a federal court it has "deep concerns" that two Chinese-born former employees accused of stealing trade secrets from the company will try to flee before their trials if their locations are not monitored.

At a hearing in US District Court for the Northern District of California, prosecutors argued that Xiaolang Zhang and Jizhong Chen should continue to be monitored because they present flight risks.
