US authorities have arrested a Chinese citizen 32 years old who joined the luxury club Mar-a-Lago of President Donald Trump in Florida with several cell phones and a USB key with malware, according to US media.

According to the minutes of the arrest in the Palm Beach District Court, Zhang Yujing tried to enter on Sunday in Mar-a-Lago. He managed to transfer the first checkpoint to the Palm Beach residence, where he usually rests the American president, who was then playing golf near the square.

The woman at first he has introduced himself as a member of the club and said that he was going to the pool, despite not wearing a swimsuit. Then he asked to attend a Sino-US friendship event it did not exist.

After being arrested, he gave another version. The woman said that a Chinese friend, Charles, had asked her to come from Shanghai to attend the event and to try to talk to a family member of the president of the Washington Economic Relations and Beijing.

The detainee wore two pbadports of the People's Republic of China, according to the secret services that arrested him. The court document mistakenly identifies her as a citizen of the "Republic of China", Taiwan's official name.

The secret service found four mobile phones, a laptop, an external hard drive and a flash drive. "it contained malware", according to the document.

Zhang was arrested and charged with lying in her statement to federal officials and having penetrated, knowing her condition, in a small building such as "Mar-a-Lago" when the president was there. .

FBI investigators are now trying to know who Zhang is, if you are involved in a possible Chinese intelligence mission and there are links to the social events of Cindy Yang – director of a consulting firm that promises Chinese businessmen contacts with Trump's environment – in Mar -a-Lago. Zhang faces penalties up to five years in jail and $ 350,000 in fine.

The incident reactivated the concerns about digital security the complex that belongs since 1985 to Trump, long questioned by the American press.

In this sense, a survey published in 2017 by the ProPublica had shown that Mar-a-Lago's wifi did not even need a pbadword to connect, which left the door open to all kinds of intrusions.

When asked about this during an act at the White House, Trump said he was not worried about security in Mar-a-Lago and said the case it was something "isolated" and that it has been managed "very well". "We have very good control (in the club)," chaired the president.
