倫敦香港經貿辦案:衞志樑、袁松彪為中國情報部門工作,違反英國國安法罪成 - BBC News 中文
英國一名移民官員被裁定參與一項「影子警務行動」,為中國情報部門工作,罪名成立。 40歲的衞志樑(Chi Leung "Peter" Wai)利用自己進入英國內政部電腦系統的權限,透過主要移民資料庫,追蹤身在英國的香港異見人士。 他被裁定違反《國家安全法》,協助外國情報機構罪名成立。同案65歲的袁松彪(Chung Biu "Bill" Yuen)亦被裁定同罪。袁松彪最初是衞志樑與香港當局之間的聯絡人。衞志樑另被裁定公職人員行為失當罪成。 在兩人被裁定罪成後,英國外交部將傳召中國駐英大使鄭澤光。 英國安全事務國務大臣翟偉紳(Dan Jarvis)表示,兩人的活動「侵犯了我們的主權,絕不會被容忍」。 他補充說:「我們將繼續追究中國的責任,並就危及我國境內人士安全的行動,直接向中方提出挑戰。」 陪審團未能就兩人另一項外國干預控罪達成裁決。該控罪指他們闖入一名來自香港、被指涉嫌詐騙的人士位於西約克郡的住所。 控方表示不會尋求重審。兩名被告還押候判,5月15日將確定判刑日期。 衞志樑於2020年12月開始在倫敦希斯路機場擔任英國邊境部隊人員,這讓他可以進入一個龐大的資料庫,查閱在英外國公民的資料。 他在休假日和病假期間搜尋資料,並透過為中國方面聯絡人,追蹤因民主活動遭打壓而逃離的香港人,以賺取額外收入。看來當時並沒有任何機制檢查他的資料庫存取權限,以防止他這樣做。 但在此之前,他已經向外提供異見人士資料,並在訊息中稱他們為「曱甴」。 袁松彪成為他與中國當局之間的聯絡人。袁松彪是香港前警務人員,任職香港駐倫敦經濟貿易辦事處的行政經理。 兩人在2017年經介紹認識。到2021年中,袁松彪已成為衞志樑的「上線」,衞志樑直接向他匯報在英香港異見人士和民主派示威者的活動。 法庭亦聽取證供指,英國政界人士亦受到「特別關注」,例如保守黨國會議員施志安爵士(Sir Iain Duncan Smith)。 倫敦反恐警務負責人、指揮官海倫·弗拉納根(Helen Flanagan)表示,兩人的活動「既陰險又令人不寒而慄」。 法庭聽取證供稱,衞志樑還把另一名邊境部隊同事、前英國皇家海軍陸戰隊成員馬修・特里克特(Matthew Trickett)拉入他監視香港異見人士的行動。 特里克特在三人被反恐警察拘捕後不久,被發現死亡,懷疑是自殺。 衞志樑同時持有英國和香港護照,曾做過多份工作,包括在2015年至2019年期間任職倫敦警察廳警員。 他曾在英國皇家海軍服役八年,亦曾在一間為倫敦唐人街活動提供保安的公司工作。衞志樑還創立了自己的公司D5 Security。 離開倫敦警察廳後,他成為倫敦城警察的輔警。 袁松彪在2015年從香港警隊退休後數日內,便移居倫敦與妻子和兩名子女團聚。他同時持有英國和香港公民身份。 不久後,他開始在香港經貿辦工作。該辦事處原本是為促進香港與英國之間的貿易而設,但在2019年香港示威後變得愈來愈政治化。 他與衞志樑是在倫敦唐人街一間餐廳,由鄧柱廷(Chu Ting Tang)介紹認識。鄧柱廷是當地知名人物,被認為支持中國政府在香港的政策。 衞志樑開始在希斯路機場工作後,向香港警務處刑事情報科前總警司馬志堅(Eddie Ma)發訊息。馬志堅仍與中國國家機關有聯繫。 衞志樑寫道:「不會讓曱甴進來。」 之後,衞志樑向馬志堅傳送一些新近抵達英國的香港異見人士的資料,馬志堅回覆說:「總部似乎對這些資料感興趣。」 衞志樑後來開始與同為邊境部隊人員的特里克特合作,蒐集香港異見人士的資料。特里克特當時也從事私人保安工作,以補貼內政部工作的收入。 2023年,香港行政長官李家超懸紅100萬港元(約10萬英鎊),通緝部分民主派活動人士,並表示會「終身追捕」他們。 中國政府亦宣布「獵狐行動」和「天網行動」,追捕在逃人員。 2023年11月,衞志樑指派特里克特,安排跟蹤知名香港活動人士羅冠聰前往牛津辯論社。羅冠聰是被懸紅100萬港元通緝的人士之一。 另一名被衞志樑一伙人監視的目標是劉祖廸。他同樣被懸紅100萬港元拘捕。 劉祖廸是2019年和2020年的知名民主派示威者,曾在香港被捕後離開。他五年前亦曾在倫敦被神秘襲擊毆打。 劉祖廸對BBC說:「坦白說,就間諜風險而言,我在英國並不感到安全。」 「所以我們一直採取不同措施,試圖保護自己,例如時刻保持警覺、四處觀察,甚至嘗試採取一些反跟蹤的技巧。」 2023年4月,當時仍是邊境部隊人員的衞志樑,在香港財經事務及庫務局局長許正宇訪問倫敦期間提供保安服務。 衞志樑使用自己的倫敦城警察證件,威脅要拘捕一名抗議許正宇到訪的示威者,儘管他當天並沒有正式警務職責。 到2024年,英國安全局軍情五處已經注意到衞志樑及其團伙的活動。 這些人開始行動,尋找一名叫鄺文琪(Monica Kwong)的女子。她被指控在香港盜取其僱主款項,但她強烈否認。 衞志樑利用自己進入Atlas資料庫的權限,追蹤到她位於龐蒂弗拉克特的住所。她當時與年幼兒子同住。 他透過假裝送包裹,確認她身在該處。 衞志樑開始對她的住所展開監視。2024年4月30日,聲稱鄺文琪欠她錢的女子鄒田甜(Tina Zou),與一批同事和香港前警務人員抵達希斯路機場。 在衞志樑和特里克特組織、袁松彪知情的行動中,鄒田甜和她部分僱員前往龐蒂弗拉克特。這看來原本是要與鄺文琪當面對質。 鄺文琪沒有應門後,該團伙愈來愈急於要找到她。他們使用「蛇形攝像機」從門底拍攝屋內情況。 特里克特留下一張紙條,自稱是「維修部的戴夫」,然後把水倒進她門下,聲稱有漏水。 最終,在2024年5月1日,該團伙闖入單位,發現裡面空無一人。軍情五處留下的竊聽裝置錄下了整個過程。 警方採取行動時,衞志樑把一張假的警員委任證扔出窗外。該假證件顯示他是「倫敦城警察的警司」。 陪審團未能就龐蒂弗拉克特發生的事件是否構成「外國干預」達成一致裁決。 袁松彪、衞志樑和特里克特被起訴並首次出庭後,特里克特被發現死於梅登黑德的格倫費爾公園,懷疑是自殺。.
