温圣华在加州被捕：被控经长滩港向朝鲜走私枪支与约5万发弹药
美国司法部2024年12月3日在加利福尼亚州宣布，居住在圣贝纳迪诺县 Ontario 市的温圣华（Shenghua Wen）当天上午被捕。刑事诉状指控，现年41岁的温圣华把枪支、弹药和其他军事物品藏进集装箱，从长滩港经香港运往朝鲜。他当天在加州中区联邦法院首次出庭。
据11月26日随诉状提交的宣誓书，温圣华取得枪支、弹药与受出口管制的技术的目的就是运往朝鲜，这违反联邦法律与美国对朝鲜的制裁。执法人员8月14日在他家中查获两件他意图送交朝鲜军用的设备：一台化学威胁识别仪与一台可探测窃听设备的手持宽频接收机。9月6日，执法人员又查获他据称购得、准备运往朝鲜的约5万发9毫米口径弹药。
据司法部，执法人员审查温圣华的手机后发现，他在2023年12月曾把物品从长滩走私至香港、最终目的地为朝鲜；他今年与同伙的多条信息涉及向朝鲜运送军用级装备，其中包括他发送的受《国际武器交易条例》出口管制物品的照片。今年1月至4月间，他还就购买一台民用飞机发动机向一家美国经纪商发出多封电子邮件与短信，并就飞机与发动机的价格反复议价。
司法部表示，温圣华是中国公民，持学生签证入境后逾期滞留美国、属非法居留，因此依法不得持有任何枪支或弹药；他也没有把弹药、枪支与执法人员查获的设备出口到朝鲜所需的美国政府许可。
温圣华被控一项共谋违反《国际紧急经济权力法》的罪名，如罪名成立最高面临20年联邦监禁。本案由联邦调查局（FBI）、国土安全调查局（HSI）、国防刑事调查局（DCIS）、烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局（ATF）与商务部工业与安全局调查；承办检察官为加州中区助理联邦检察官 Sarah E. Gerdes 与国家安全司审判律师 Ahmed Almudallal。刑事诉状只是指控，温圣华在被法庭证明有罪之前依法被推定无罪。（来源：美国司法部）
Shenghua Wen Arrested in California: Accused of Smuggling Firearms and Some 50,000 Rounds to North Korea via Long Beach
The U.S. Department of Justice announced in California on December 3, 2024, that Shenghua Wen, who lived in the city of Ontario in San Bernardino County, was arrested that morning. A criminal complaint alleges that Wen, 41, exported shipments of firearms, ammunition and other military items to North Korea concealed inside shipping containers bound from Long Beach. He was expected to make his initial appearance that afternoon in the Central District of California.
According to an affidavit filed on November 26 with the complaint, Wen obtained firearms, ammunition and export-controlled technology with the intention of shipping them to North Korea, in violation of federal law and U.S. sanctions against that nation. On August 14, law enforcement seized at his home two devices he intended to send to North Korea for military use: a chemical threat identification device and a hand-held broadband receiver that detects eavesdropping devices. On September 6, law enforcement seized approximately 50,000 rounds of 9mm ammunition that Wen allegedly obtained to send to North Korea.
According to the Justice Department, a review of Wen's iPhone showed that in December 2023 he smuggled items from Long Beach to Hong Kong with North Korea as their destination, and messages retrieved from his phones this year discussed shipping military-grade equipment to North Korea, including photographs he sent of items controlled for export under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. From January to April, Wen also sent emails and text messages to a U.S.-based broker about obtaining a civilian plane engine, including price negotiations for the plane and its engine.
The department said Wen is a Chinese national who is illegally in the United States after overstaying his student visa and is therefore prohibited from possessing any firearms or ammunition, and that he lacked the U.S. government licenses required to export the ammunition, firearms and seized devices to North Korea.
Wen is charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which carries a statutory maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison. The FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security are investigating the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah E. Gerdes for the Central District of California and Trial Attorney Ahmed Almudallal of the National Security Division are prosecuting the case. A criminal complaint is merely an allegation, and Wen is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
