By deep packet inspection (DPI) and editing sent packets as they're in transit from to or from exit node. Traffic isn't that hard to manipulate. You only need to fake the destination, pretend to be the sender or simply intercept the information and repackage it. Government has been doing this for decades at the request of the NSA to place backdoors in hardware components - sometimes during shipping - to their intended (presumably criminal) buyer. It's similar to that except on a software level which is much easier and costs a fraction of the time.
