Former top state aide Linda Sun lived large in a Long Island mansion with a Ferrari parked in the garage and Birkin handbag in her closet — all thanks to her alleged secret gig as a Chinese foreign agent, a court heard this week.
Sun, who served under Gov. Kathy Hochul and her predecessor Andrew Cuomo — with a salary that never exceeded $145,000 per year during a decade-plus stint in Albany — could only afford the luxuries by cashing in on her lofty position to advance China’s agenda, federal prosecutors allege.
Photos of the spoils from the purportedly crooked plot made public on Tuesday were shown to jurors in Brooklyn federal court during Sun’s ongoing bombshell corruption trial.
The jury got a glimpse of the loot, including a snazzy brown Hermes Birkin bag seized from Sun’s walk-in closet in the $3.6 million Manhasset manse, and a Patek Philippe watch with a receipt showing it was bought by Sun’s husband and now co-defendant Chris Hu.
