柏林，10月23日电 —— 据《明镜》周刊周五报道，从被黑客入侵的德国选择党（AfD）账户中获取的一批电子邮件，似乎与该极右翼政党联合主席爱丽丝·魏德尔此前关于一笔非法竞选捐款的表述相矛盾。
BERLIN, Oct 23 - Emails from a trove of hacked Alternative for Germany (AfD) accounts appear to contradict the far-right party leader Alice Weidel's previous statements about an illegal campaign donation, Der Spiegel news outlet reported on Friday.
这些发现源自周一在网上发布的超过42万封德国选择党内部电子邮件，记者们仍在对其进行梳理。
The findings emerged from a cache of more than 420,000 internal AfD emails published online on Monday, which journalists are still combing through.
据《明镜》周刊、德国第二电视台（ZDF）以及奥地利《标准报》分析，这些邮件显示，魏德尔在2017年联邦大选竞选期间，比她此前声称知情的时间早几周就已知晓与其竞选相关的计划捐款。
The emails, analysed by Der Spiegel, broadcaster ZDF, and Austria's Der Standard newspaper, suggest Weidel knew of planned donations linked to her 2017 federal election campaign weeks before she has previously said she became aware of them.
报道称，魏德尔在2017年7月的一封邮件中告诉时任财务主管，她已获悉捐款事宜。然而，丑闻曝光后，魏德尔称她是在那年9月才首次得知这笔资金，并随后主张将其退回。
According to the report, Weidel told the treasurer at the time in a July 2017 email that she had been notified of donations. However, after the scandal came to light, Weidel said she had first learned about the funds in September of that year and had later advocated for their return, it said.
这笔总额达13.2万欧元（约合14.78万美元）、经瑞士中介转交的款项，成为德国选择党历史上最引人注目的政党融资丑闻之一。
The payments totalling €132,000 ($147,800) through Swiss intermediaries became one of the most prominent party financing scandals in the AfD's history.
德国法律禁止政党接受欧盟以外来源的资助，德国选择党因此被罚款39.6万欧元。
Parties in Germany are not allowed to receive support from outside the EU, and the AfD was fined €396,000.
该党表示，不会就邮件真实性回应询问，并敦促媒体避免传播与数据窃取有关的内容。
The party has said that it will not respond to inquiries on whether emails are genuine, and urged the media to refrain from disseminating content linked to data theft.
德国选择党发言人未立即就关于魏德尔和捐款的邮件置评请求作出回应。
An AfD spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the emails concerning Weidel and the donations.
黑客周四对《时代周报》表示，他们发布这些数据（还包括文件和个人记录）是为了透明度和公众问责。托管该数据网站的所有者未回应路透社发送的电子邮件置评请求。
The hackers told Die Zeit newspaper on Thursday that they had published the data, which also includes documents and personal records, in the name of transparency and public accountability. The owners of the website hosting the data did not respond to Reuters' emailed request for comment.
泄露的数据可能助长部分政界人士和公民社会团体要求禁党的呼声，他们主张德国选择党威胁德国的民主宪政秩序。
The leaked data could add fuel to calls by some politicians and civil society groups to ban the party that they argue threatens Germany's democratic constitutional order.
在全国民意调查中领跑的德国选择党（AfD）拒绝接受这一指控，称其出于政治动机。
The AfD, which has topped national opinion polls, rejects that accusation as politically motivated.
当被问及是否计划对此事展开调查时，国内情报机构表示，原则上不对其内部工作流程发表评论；该机构的评估结果可能成为任何潜在禁党程序的依据。
The domestic intelligence agency, whose assessments could be used as a basis for any possible ban proceedings, said that as a matter of principle it does not comment on its internal work processes when asked if it planned to investigate the matter.
