肯尼亚以涉嫌间谍活动罪名逮捕77名中国人

据内罗毕警方称，抓捕行动分为两次，第一次抓了36人，随后又抓了41人。据称，这些人在内罗毕联合国环境署附近的富人区租了一栋别墅。目前，这些中国人来自什么地方尚不清楚，有些人连英语都不会说。

据《环球时报》记者了解，中国驻肯尼亚使馆相关人员已前往交涉，肯尼亚方面称“被捕的中国人涉嫌金融诈骗，他们从网上窃取信息”。警方从他们住的地方搜出一批高端通信设备。美联社援引当地一名官员的话称，这些人涉及洗钱和网络欺诈，肯尼亚当局还在调查他们是否从事间谍活动。


77名中国人被抓事件疑点重重

据BBC中文网引述来自肯尼亚首都内罗毕的消息，这77名中国人是在11月30日和12月3日之间分别拘捕的。肯尼亚警方认为，这个犯罪团伙具有入侵银行账户、银行手机网络服务和自动提款机系统的设备，并且正准备打入国家的通讯系统。

了解案件调查情况的一位警官表示，警察在调查一起导致一人死亡的火灾之后采取了搜捕行动。他说，目前对这77个人提出的指控包括非法居留，以及未经许可使用无线电设备。据当地媒体报道，这些中国人居住的地方像是“军队宿舍”。

Kenyan police have arrested 77 Chinese nationals and are consulting experts to see if they used advanced communications equipment in several houses in an upscale Nairobi neighbourhood to commit espionage.

Kenya's foreign ministry has also summoned China's top diplomat in the capital Nairobi as it seeks to establish if Beijing was in anyway linked to the affair.

Police said they believed the gang was "preparing to raid the country's communication systems".

The Daily Nation newspaper said a series of police raids had turned up equipment capable of infiltrating bank accounts and government servers, Kenya's M-Pesa mobile banking system and ATM machines.

"The suspects are being interrogated to establish their mission in the country and what they wanted to do with the communication gadgets. They have been charged in court," said the director of Kenya's Criminal Investigation Department, Ndegwa Muhoro.

"We have roped in experts to tell us if they were committing crimes of espionage,'' he told the Associated Press news agency.

Police said many of those detained appeared to have been in the country illegally.

The arrests began on Sunday, when computer equipment in one of the upscale houses the Chinese nationals had rented near the US Embassy and UN headquarters caught fire, killing one person.

Kenyan foreign minister Amina Mohamed "made it clear that the Chinese government should fully cooperate on this matter," Kenya's communications minister Fred Matiang'i said, adding that China has promised to send investigators to Kenya to work on the case.

Police said it appeared the group was also manufacturing ATM cards, and that the suspects may have been involved in money laundering and Internet fraud.
