A Russian-born researcher at Harvard University accused of smuggling frog embryos into the United States faced new criminal charges as she was indicted by a federal grand jury in Boston on Wednesday.
Kseniia Petrova, a scientist conducting cancer research at Harvard Medical School on a J-1 visa since 2023, was indicted on one count of concealment of a material fact, one count of false statement and one count of smuggling goods. She was first charged with smuggling in a criminal complaint filed May 12.
