英国警方在反恐官员调查后，逮捕了一名美国军方高级成员，怀疑其为俄罗斯从事间谍活动，这是西方国家与莫斯科有关的涉嫌间谍活动的最新一例。
British police have arrested a senior member of the United States military on suspicion of spying for Russia following an investigation by counterterrorism officials, marking the latest instance of alleged espionage in the West linked to Moscow.
伦敦大都会警察局的一份声明称，一名41岁的男子在格洛斯特附近被捕，涉嫌违反《2023年国家安全法》第1条和第3条。
A 41-year-old man was arrested near Gloucester on suspicion of offences under Section 1 and Section 3 of the National Security Act 2023, according to a statement by London Metropolitan Police.
该法案第1条涉及获取或泄露受保护信息，第3条涉及协助外国情报机构。
Section 1 of the Act relates to obtaining or disclosing protected information, while Section 3 relates to assisting a foreign intelligence service.
声明称：“作为调查的一部分，警员正在格洛斯特郡的两个地点进行搜查。涉嫌相关的国家是俄罗斯。”以下是目前已知的情况。被捕男子的情况如何？目前，关于被捕士兵的信息不多。
“As part of the investigation, officers are carrying out searches at two locations in Gloucestershire. The country to which the allegations relate is Russia,” the statement read. Here’s what we know so far. What do we know about the man arrested? So far, not much information is available about the soldier who was arrested.
英国广播公司周二报道，该士兵驻扎在格洛斯特郡因斯沃思的英津兵营。
The BBC reported on Tuesday that the soldier was based at the Imjin Barracks in Innsworth, Gloucestershire.
该兵营是北约盟军快速反应军团的基地，该军团是北约的战略作战基地。
Those barracks serve as the base for NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC), which is a strategic operational base for the military alliance.
大都会警察局表示，该男子根据《2023年国家安全法》被拘留，该法允许警方在不提起指控的情况下拘留他14天，并补充说，伦敦反恐警察正在领导调查。
The man has been detained under the National Security Act 2023, which allows police to hold him without charge for 14 days, the Metropolitan Police said, adding that Counter Terrorism Police London were leading the investigation.
根据英国法律，警方通常在嫌疑人被指控前不会公布其姓名，除非在特殊情况下。英国方面怎么说？
Under British law, police generally do not publish the names of suspects before they have been charged, except in exceptional circumstances. What has the UK said?
英国反恐警察高级全国协调员、副助理专员维基·埃文斯表示，逮捕和调查是“英国和美国当局密切合作”的结果。
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans, senior national coordinator for Britain’s Counter Terrorism Policing, said the arrest and investigation resulted from “close collaboration between UK and US authorities”.
“这些指控非常严重，我们的调查仍在进行中。这一活动体现了英国和美国执法及国家安全伙伴关系的力量，我赞扬所有参与团队的工作。我们将共同努力，对我们怀疑从事任何可能损害国家安全的犯罪活动的人采取坚决行动。”据大都会警察局称，对这名美国士兵的调查与任何其他正在进行的反恐警察调查无关。
“The allegations are serious and our investigation is very much ongoing. This activity demonstrates the strength of our UK and US law enforcement and national security partnerships, and I commend the work of all the teams involved. We will work together to take robust action against those we suspect of any criminal activity that could undermine our national security.”The investigation into the US soldier is not connected to any other ongoing Counter Terrorism Policing investigations, according to the Metropolitan Police.
联邦调查局局长卡什·帕特尔表示，此次逮捕涉及间谍活动指控，这些指控对美国及其盟友而言“极为关切”。
FBI Director Kash Patel said the arrest involved allegations of espionage which are of the “utmost concern” to the US and its allies.
“在调查继续进行的同时，我想传递一个明确的信号——联邦调查局对任何违背对美国誓言、其行为危及美国及其合作伙伴国家安全的人绝不容忍，”帕特尔说。
“While this investigation is continuing, I want to send a clear message – this FBI has no tolerance for anyone who breaks their oath to the United States and whose actions endanger our national security and that of our partners,” Patel said.
他说，联邦调查局在过去21个月里，在反间谍和间谍相关案件中逮捕了167人，比可比较的前一时期增加了53%。
He said that the FBI had made 167 arrests in counterintelligence and espionage-related cases over the last 21 months – a 53 percent increase over the comparable previous period.
美国陆军反间谍司令部司令肖恩·斯廷顿少将表示，此案体现了英美伙伴关系的力量。
Brigadier General Sean Stinchon, the commanding general of US Army Counterintelligence Command, said the case demonstrated the strength of the UK-US partnership.
“我感谢英国和联邦调查局在整个调查过程中的专业精神和团队合作。一名被委以敏感信息的高级军人涉嫌行为，是一个令人警醒的提醒，即内部威胁是真实且持续存在的。我鼓励任何认为自己目睹可疑情况的人向当地反间谍办公室报告，”他说。这种情况以前发生过吗？不完全是。
“I am grateful to the UK and the FBI for their professionalism and teamwork throughout this investigation. The alleged conduct of a senior soldier, entrusted with sensitive information, is a sobering reminder that insider threats are real and persistent. I encourage anyone who thinks they’ve witnessed something suspicious to report it to their local counterintelligence office,” he said. Has this happened before? Not quite.
据信，这是首次有美国士兵在英国境内被怀疑为外国政府从事间谍活动。然而，间谍指控在过去几个月里有所增加。
This is believed to be the first time a US soldier was found to be under suspicion of spying for a foreign government while in the UK. However, espionage allegations have grown in recent months.
十月，英国警方以涉嫌根据《2023年国家安全法》第3条协助俄罗斯情报机构为由，逮捕了三名男子。
In October, British police arrested three men on suspicion of helping Russian intelligence under Section 3 of the National Security Act 2023.
一个月前，三人——两名男子和一名女子——因涉嫌为莫斯科从事间谍活动被捕。
A month before, three people — two men and a woman — were arrested on suspicion of spying for Moscow.
自2022年俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰以来，英国一直是乌克兰最大的支持国之一，伦敦与莫斯科的关系处于最低点。
The UK has been one of Ukraine’s biggest backers since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, and relations between London and Moscow are at their lowest.
然而，即使在乌克兰战争之前，俄罗斯情报机构在伦敦就已发挥作用。2006年，前俄罗斯间谍亚历山大·利特维年科在首都中毒，2018年，曾有企图毒杀双重间谍谢尔盖·斯克里帕尔的阴谋。
However, even before the Ukraine war, Russian intelligence had played a role in London. In 2006, former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko was poisoned in the capital and in 2018, there was an attempted plot to poison double agent Sergei Skripal.
