A former airline manager was charged with smuggling packages for Chinese military officers stationed at the United Nations in New York.
Ying Lin, 46, who worked as a station chief for an unspecified international carrier at Newark Liberty International Airport, smuggled the packages on flights to China in exchange for discounted liquor purchased from diplomatic duty-free shops and other benefits, according to a statement Wednesday from the U.S. attorney in Brooklyn.
