Andrew Ang, an employee of a Singapore supplier, was also named in the indictment and faces the same charges as Devine. Ang was identified as a former employee of Jin Li Mould Manufacturing in news reports.

From February 2007 until his arrest, Devine allegedly received payments from six suppliers based on a percentage of business they won with Apple, according to the indictment.

Devine and Ang are charged with 15 counts of wire fraud, five counts of money laundering, one count of wire fraud conspiracy and one count of monetary transactions with criminally derived property, according to court documents.

An attorney appointment hearing for Devine is scheduled for Monday.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Devine gave confidential information to companies like Cresyn in South Korea, Kaedar Electronics in China and Jin Li Mould.
