Six Chinese nationals were indicted in Iowa on charges of plotting to steal genetically modified seeds worth tens of millions of dollars to Monsanto Co. and DuPont Co.
The indictments follow the arrest last week of Mo Hailong, director of international business at Beijing Dabeinong Technology Group Co., part of the Beijing-based DBN Group, who was accused of stealing trade secrets after he was found digging in a Iowa cornfield. The indictment of Mo and five others connected to DBN, filed on Dec. 17, was unsealed yesterday in federal court in Des Moines.
