Accused: An American intelligence case officer was arrested in Seattle and charged with attempted espionage, in what appears to be a high-profile mole hunt by F.B.I. investigators intent on uncovering Chinese spying.

The officer, Ron Rockwell Hansen, 58, is a fluent Mandarin speaker who first visited China in 1981. He has allegedly received at least $800,000 in “funds originating from China” since May 2013.
