负责监督英国情报机构行为的高级官员表示，军情五处（MI5）在为一名暴力新纳粹间谍辩护时向多家法院撒谎，其严重程度“堪比我处理过的任何事情”。
The man responsible for overseeing the conduct of the UK's intelligence services has said that MI5 lying to multiple courts while defending a violent neo-Nazi spy is as "serious as anything" he has ever dealt with.
“监督依赖于坦诚，”调查权专员莱韦森勋爵（Lord Leveson）表示。“坦诚方面的失职会动摇监督和问责的整个基础。”他的办公室——调查权专员办公室（IPCO）调查了军情五处如何就被称为“X特工”的虐待成性线人向三家法院提供虚假证据，此事最早由英国广播公司（BBC）曝光。
"Oversight depends on candour," said investigatory powers commissioner Lord Leveson. "Failings of candour undermine the entire basis of oversight and accountability." His office, the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office (IPCO), investigated how MI5 gave false evidence to three courts concerning the abusive informant known as agent X, as first exposed by the BBC.
IPCO 于今年早些时候发布的报告发现，一名高级军官反复撒谎，另一名高级军官误导自己的同事，并就被告知的内容撒谎。
IPCO's report, released earlier this year, found one senior officer lied repeatedly while another misled his own colleagues and lied about what he was told.
报告还批评了其他高级间谍，并认定“军情五处在整个案件中的行为存在严重且系统性的失职”。
It also criticised other senior spies and found "serious and systemic failures in MI5's conduct" throughout the case.
上个月，军情五处表示“毫无保留地接受”报告的调查结果。高等法院预计将很快就对该机构或其员工采取何种行动（如有）作出裁决。
MI5 said it accepted the report's findings "without reservation" last month. The High Court is due to decide soon on what action, if any, to take against the agency or its staff.
莱韦森勋爵在周四发表年度报告时评论称，“X特工一案堪比我作为专员处理过的任何事情，都严重”。
In comments to mark the publication of his annual report on Thursday, Lord Leveson said the "case of agent X is as serious as anything I have dealt with as commissioner".
“向高等法院和调查权法庭提供了虚假证据，首相指示我查明事情经过。
"False evidence was given to the High Court and the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, and the prime minister directed me to find out how that happened.
“我的调查现已结束，发现IPCO和法院均受到了误导。”IPCO的调查审查了军情五处如何就其遵守核心保密政策——即关于该线人特工身份的“既不承认也不否认”（NCND）政策——向三家法院提供虚假证据。
"My investigation has now concluded and found that both IPCO and the courts were misled." The IPCO investigation examined how MI5 gave false evidence to three courts about having kept to its core secrecy policy - known as 'neither confirm nor deny' (NCND) - about the agent status of the violent neo-Nazi informant.
该男子对其伴侣（化名贝丝）实施强制控制，并用砍刀袭击了她。在该男子接受警方调查期间，军情五处协助其出国继续从事情报工作。
He coercively controlled his partner, known by the alias Beth, and attacked her with a machete. MI5 then helped him go abroad to continue intelligence work while he was under police investigation.
政府于2022年将BBC告上法庭，试图阻止我们对X的调查，但未能成功，却为他赢得了法律上的匿名权。随后，贝丝在调查权法庭起诉了军情五处（MI5），并于2024年在高等法院寻求对一项裁决进行复核。
The government took the BBC to court in 2022 in a failed attempt to block our investigation into X, but won him legal anonymity. Beth then sued MI5 at the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, and in 2024 she sought a review of a ruling at the High Court.
军情五处声称其坚持了“既不确认也不否认”（NCND）原则，因此法院允许其对贝丝和其他所有人保密信息，使她处于严重不利地位。
MI5 claimed it had maintained NCND and, consequently, the courts allowed it to keep information secret from Beth and everyone else, leaving her at a serious disadvantage.
但军情五处所说属实。事实上，它在2020年试图劝阻我不要调查此人时，曾在电话中向我透露了该男子的特工身份。
But what MI5 said was untrue. It had in fact disclosed the man's agent status in phone calls to me, as it tried to persuade me not to investigate him in 2020.
一名军情五处高级官员曾试图为该男子掩盖，虚假声称他既非虐待女性者，也非真正的极端分子。他甚至想让我会见这名特工。在此过程中，他多次背离了NCND政策。
A senior MI5 officer had tried to cover up for the man, falsely saying he was not an abusive misogynist nor a real extremist. He even wanted me to meet the agent. In doing so, he repeatedly departed from the NCND policy.
调查权专员办公室（IPCO）的调查认定，该官员多次撒谎。自BBC曝光此事以来，他已辞去军情五处职务。
That officer was found to have repeatedly lied by the IPCO investigation. He has resigned from MI5 since the BBC exposed what happened.
IPCO还监督和监管军情六处（MI6）和政府通讯总部（GCHQ），以及警方和其他机构的秘密权力和特工运作。
The IPCO also oversees and regulates MI6 and GCHQ, as well covert powers and agent-running by police forces and other agencies.
其年度报告显示，涉及特工的军情五处错误从2017年的4起增加至2025年的21起。同期，军情六处的错误则从10起减少至3起。
Its annual report revealed that errors by MI5 involving agents increased from four in 2017 to 21 in 2025. In the same period, errors by MI6 decreased from 10 to three.
报告还批评国家犯罪局（NCA）在管理一名未成年犯罪线人（即被该机构使用的18岁以下儿童）方面存在失职。
It also criticised the National Crime Agency (NCA) for failings in how it managed a juvenile criminal informant, meaning a child under 18 who was being used by the agency.
调查发现，国家犯罪局未在规定时限内告知勒韦森勋爵其正在运作一名儿童线人，且一名国家犯罪局高级官员错误地将授权期限延长至远超法律允许的范围。
It found that the NCA did not inform Lord Leveson of the fact it was running a child informant within the required time period, and a senior NCA officer wrongly extended the authorisation well beyond what is legal.
调查还发现，未记录能够证明缺少“合适成年人”在场具有正当理由的情况，且在没有有效法律授权保护的情况下，让该儿童“执行从事犯罪行为的任务”。
It also found a failure to record the circumstances which would justify the absence of an "appropriate adult", and that the child was "tasked to engage in criminal conduct" without the protection of a valid legal authorisation.
勒韦森勋爵表示，该机构的行为“远低于法律要求的标准”，并称已致函其局长。
Lord Leveson said the agency's conduct fell "well short of what the law requires" and said he had written to its director general.
他还对政府通信总部（GCHQ）表示担忧，称该机构“至今仍无法告知我，那些可能存有敏感数据的可移动存储介质到底发生了什么，而我早在数年前就首次向他们提出过此事”。
He also expressed concern with GCHQ, saying it "still cannot tell me what has happened to removable media that may hold sensitive data, years after I first raised it with them".
报告披露，这家情报机构目前估计有“数千个”存储卡、硬盘及其他便携式存储介质无法找到，也无法说明其下落。报告指出：“这些介质被大量使用，是政府通信总部部分运作流程的必要组成部分。”
The report revealed the spy agency now estimates there are "thousands" of memory cards, hard drives and other portable media items it can neither find nor account for. The report stated that "these items are utilised extensively and are an essential component of some of GCHQ's operating processes".
莱韦森勋爵表示：“我们对这一问题仍深感担忧，并对政府通信总部调查耗费的时间感到失望。”
"We remain very concerned about this issue and are disappointed with the time it has taken GCHQ to investigate", said Lord Leveson.
