Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday announced a first-of-its-kind criminal cyber-espionage case against Chinese military officials the Justice Department charges hacked into major U.S. companies to steal trade secrets -- though Holder could not say whether the five defendants stand a chance of ever seeing the inside of a U.S. courtroom.
Holder, in announcing the indictment against five Shanghai-based officials, acknowledged that the defendants have never set foot in the United States.
Pressed on whether there's any hope the Chinese government would hand over the officials, Holder said only the "intention" is for the defendants to face the charges in a U.S. court, and he hopes to have Chinese government cooperation.
