Ex-Worker Charged In Industrial Espionage

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A former Lubrizol Corp. research and development employee is charged with selling trade secrets to a South Korean company.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Justin Roberts says 62-year-old Kyung Kim of Broadview Heights was charged Wednesday with theft of trade secrets and conspiracy.
Kim's lawyer, Richard Lillie, says he has no comment about the charges but says that Kim has been cooperating with authorities.
The federal charges are based on evidence from an internal investigation last year at the northeast Ohio-based specialty chemicals company.
The charges say Kim had at least 17 meetings to provide information about Lubrizol trade secrets to SK Chemicals in Seoul, South Korea.
