一名皇家海军成员将于星期四在伦敦法院出庭应诉间谍罪。警方表示,24岁的泰迪·杨(Teddy Young)被控违反《国家安全法》,包括准备泄露受保护的信息以及为外国势力获取或保留此类信息。
A serving member of the Royal Navy is due to appear in a London court on Thursday on charges of spying for an undisclosed foreign power. Teddy Young, 24, has been accused under the National Security Act of preparing to disclose protected information and of obtaining or retaining such information for the benefit of a foreign power, police said.
杨自上星期二在白布利郡家中被逮捕以来一直被拘留,预计将在威斯特敏斯特地方法院出庭。伦敦都警表示,所涉罪行发生在2024年11月至2025年5月之间。
Young has been in custody since his arrest at his home in Bedfordshire on Tuesday and is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court. The Metropolitan Police said the alleged offences took place between November 2024 and May 2025.
据警方称,杨在此期间被指准备泄露受保护的信息。他还被指控在同一时段为外国势力获取、复制、记录或保留受保护的信息。
According to police, Young allegedly prepared to disclose protected information during that period. He is also accused of obtaining, copying, recording or retaining protected information for the benefit of a foreign power over the same timeframe."
“这些是非常严重的指控,针对的是一名现役军人,”伦敦反恐警诱领官海伦·弗拉纳根(Commander Helen Flanagan)在一份声明中说。“随着我们的调查的推进,我们与国防部相关业务同事密切合作,以确保采取适当措施,降低与此事相关的任何潜在风险。”
These are very serious charges against a serving member of the armed forces," Commander Helen Flanagan, head of counter terrorism policing in London, said in a statement. "We have worked extremely closely with relevant operational colleagues within the Ministry of Defence as our investigation has progressed to ensure appropriate measures could be taken to mitigate any potential risks linked to this matter."
警方表示,这些指控与最近法里福德皇家空军基地的安全警报无关。该基地是美国轰炸机从中发动对伊朗打击的基地。9月27日凌晨,在该基地附近发现三辆可疑面包车,引发了一项调查,最终导致七名男子被逮捕。
Police said the charges were not linked to the recent security alert at RAF Fairford, a British air base from which US bombers launched strikes against Iran. Three suspicious vans were found near the base in the early hours of September 27, prompting an investigation that led to the arrest of seven men.
杨此前于2025年5月21日被逮捕,并在后续调查期间获释。他的安全许可证在当时被暂停,并被撤下职务。
Young had previously been arrested on May 21, 2025, and was later released on bail pending further investigation. His security clearance was suspended at the time and he was removed from his duties.
皇家海军在一份声明中承认逮捕了一名军人,并称:"由于法律程序仍在进行中,目前发表更多评论将不妨适当。" 案件现已移交法院,杨将面临指控,指控他涉嫌为外国势力处理受保护的信息。
In a statement, the Royal Navy acknowledged the arrest of a service member and said, "As legal proceedings are ongoing, it would be inappropriate to comment further at this stage." The case will now move to court, where Young will face charges linked to allegedly handling protected information for the benefit of a foreign power.
