Randy Guthrie

law - Randy Guthrie expelled

A short follow up on the case of Randy Guthrie, or Randolph Hobson Guthrie III as he is called in the Chinese media. The former Shanghai socialite was arrested last year, and convicted later, for large scale selling of illegal DVD's.
Guthrie has been expelled from China and handed over to the US authorities, the official news wire Xinhua tells us today.
He served about one year of a two-and-a-half year sentence. In this case Chinese and US police cooperated extensively.
The second convicted US citizen Cody Thrush has left China on July 1, the story says.
AP repeated the Xinhua dispatch, but could not add any more information, apart from a confirmation by the US consulate.
