法兰克福，10月15日——德国一家法院周四判处两名男子最高8年半的监禁，罪名是策划谋杀德国某犹太组织领袖。法院指出，其中一名男子受伊朗情报部门指使行事。
FRANKFURT, Oct 15 - A German court on Thursday handed two men prison sentences of up to 8-1/2 years for planning to kill the leader of a Jewish organisation in Germany, saying one man had been steered by Iran's intelligence service.
法院判定，此前被确认是丹麦籍的阿里·S因策划暗杀及严重纵火罪被判处8年6个月监禁。
One man, previously identified as Danish national Ali S., was sentenced to eight years and six months for preparing an assassination and aggravated arson, judges ruled.
位于汉堡的这家法院在声明中称：“法庭确信，被告阿里·S受伊朗特工部门招募并加入该机构，目的是在伊朗指令下于德国实施国家支持的恐怖活动。”目前伊朗驻德使馆尚未对置评请求作出回应。
"The court is convinced that the defendant, S., was recruited by the Iranian secret service and integrated into it to carry out state-sponsored terrorist activities in Germany under Iran’s direction," the court in the northern city of Hamburg said in a statement. The Iranian Embassy in Germany did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
另一名被确认是阿富汗籍的托瓦布·M因参与该阴谋被判处4年6个月监禁。
Another man, previously named as Afghan national Tawab M., was sentenced to four years and six months for his role in the plot.
上述判决尚可上诉。此时正值美以两国2月份对伊朗发动战争后，沙特阿拉伯与也门亲伊朗的胡塞武装之间的冲突不断升级。今年5月，德国联邦检方对这两名男子提起刑事指控。
The verdicts, which can be appealed, come as a war with Iran launched by the United States and Israel in February has spilled over into an escalating conflict between Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis. German federal prosecutors brought criminal charges against the two men in May.
法院称，2025年初，阿里·S接到任务，要求搜集有关德国犹太人中央理事会主席约瑟夫·舒斯特以及德以协会主席福尔克·贝克的情报。此外，他还被命令监视柏林的两家犹太人经营的杂货店。
The court said that in early 2025, S. was tasked with gathering information on the President of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, and the Chairman of the German-Israeli Society, Volker Beck. He was also instructed to spy on two Jewish grocers in Berlin, they added.
