“Michael di Pretoro, a retired 30-year veteran with the FBI who served from
1990 to 1994 as the legal liaison officer at the American consulate in Hong
Kong, said "relations between U.S. and Hong Kong law enforcement personnel
are historically quite good."
"In my time, I felt the degree of cooperation was outstanding to the extent
that I almost felt I was in an FBI field office," di Pretoro said.”
