华盛顿——根据周五发布的监察长报告，2022年至2025年间，数十名美国国税局员工不当查看了名人、政府官员和商界领袖的税务记录。
WASHINGTON—Dozens of Internal Revenue Service employees improperly viewed the tax records of celebrities, government officials and business leaders from 2022 through 2025, according to an inspector general’s report released on Friday.
未经授权的访问是非法的，即使员工未向政府外部泄露税务信息，也可能面临刑事起诉或员工纪律处分。监察长已将相关案件移交其调查部门进行进一步审查。
Unauthorized access is illegal, even if employees don’t disclose tax information outside the government, and it can be punished through criminal prosecution or employee discipline. The inspector general sent the cases to its investigation division for further review.
报告警告称，国税局缺乏有效手段来防止员工窥探名人的税务记录，或在访问发生后检测到此类行为。
The report warned that the IRS doesn’t have effective ways to prevent employees from peeking at celebrities’ tax records or detect that access after it happens.
