伦敦,9月25日——伦敦法院周五获悉,一名英国男子将于明年受审,他被指控向俄罗斯情报机构提供制造无人机的工厂信息,并提议为其实施破坏活动。
LONDON, Sept 25 - A British man will go on trial next year accused of providing information about factories which manufacture drones and offering to sabotage them on behalf of Russian intelligence, a London court was told on Friday.
31岁的乔舒亚·卡米奇(Joshua Cammidge)被指控协助外国情报机构并准备实施破坏行为,此前他曾与格鲁乌志愿军(GRU Volunteer Corps)取得联系,检方称该组织受俄罗斯格鲁乌军事情报机构控制。
Joshua Cammidge, 31, is charged with assisting a foreign intelligence service and preparing an act of sabotage after contact with the GRU Volunteer Corps, which prosecutors said was controlled by Russia's GRU military intelligence agency.
检察官莎拉·普日比尔斯卡(Sarah Przybylska)在伦敦老贝利法庭表示,来自英格兰西南部斯温顿的卡米奇曾与一名前往俄罗斯对抗乌克兰的英国公民交换信息,卡米奇被指派寻找无人机制造地点。她说:“他们讨论了破坏某个地点,被告主动提出执行此类破坏。显然,这一切都是为了协助俄罗斯的战争努力。”检方还指控他研究Wi-Fi干扰设备并进行侦察。
Prosecutor Sarah Przybylska told London's Old Bailey court that Cammidge, from Swindon, west England, had exchanged messages with a British national who had gone to Russia to fight against Ukraine, in which Cammidge was tasked with locating drone manufacturing sites. "They discussed sabotaging a site and the defendant volunteered to carry out such sabotage," she said. "It was clear all of this was to assist the Russian war effort." Prosecutors have also accused him of conducting research about a Wi-Fi jamming device and undertaking reconnaissance.
卡米奇未被要求当场认罪,但其律师约翰·奥利弗(John Oliver)告诉法庭,他打算否认指控。
Cammidge was not asked to enter pleas, but his lawyer John Oliver told the court he intended to deny the accusations. Oliver said there was "no intention to cause or take part in sabotage" and the communications between the men were "not to be taken seriously".
奥利弗表示,“没有意图造成或参与破坏”,且两人之间的通信“不应被当真”。俄罗斯驻伦敦大使馆未对此案发表评论。
Russia's embassy in London has not commented on the case. Cammidge was remanded in custody and will appear again in court to enter a plea in January, with the trial due to take place at Winchester Crown Court in April.
卡米奇被还押候审,将于1月再次出庭认罪,审判定于4月在温切斯特刑事法庭举行。
Russia's embassy in London has not commented on the case. Cammidge was remanded in custody and will appear again in court to enter a plea in January, with the trial due to take place at Winchester Crown Court in April.
