Cựu trưởng khoa Hóa, Đại học Harvard vừa bị tòa án phán quyết phạm tội khai gian thuế và thu nhập, nói dối cơ quan điều tra nhằm che giấu việc nhận tài trợ của chính phủ Trung Quốc. Ông này có thể bị phạt 26 năm tù và 1,2 triệu USD. Tuy nhiên, một số người trong cộng đồng khoa học lo ngại về vụ án này.
‘There is now no question that Charles Lieber lied to federal investigators and to Harvard in an attempt to hide his participation in the Chinese Thousand Talents Program,’ said Acting US Attorney Nathaniel Mendell. ‘He lied to the IRS about the money he was paid, and he concealed his Chinese bank account from the United States.’
Philip Coyne, a special agent in charge of the US Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Inspector General (OIG), said professors like Lieber who are ‘privileged to be part of taxpayer-funded research’ are expected to be honest in their actions. ‘Today’s conviction demonstrates OIG’s commitment to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not wasted, and that those handling these funds are truthful in their dealings with federal agencies,’ he stated.
