华为案庭审:前FBI探员向陪审团讲述2007年深夜约谈任正非 其称华为未直接与伊朗公司交易

纽约——在 Brooklyn 联邦法院审理的华为刑事案件中,前联邦调查局(FBI)探员 Timothy Lucey 10月15日向陪审团作证,讲述他2007年与华为创始人兼首席执行官任正非的一次深夜约谈。华为在本案中被控涉嫌敲诈勒索式合谋等罪名,公司否认指控,案件由联邦法官 Ann Donnelly 主持审理,检方与辩方于9月已作开庭陈述。
Lucey 作证说,2007年7月11日凌晨,探员们多次尝试单独接触任正非未果后,致电其在曼哈顿中城 St. Regis 酒店的房间请他下楼;任正非称自己有清晨6点的航班,但仍同意会面,并由两名女性同伴陪同。约谈在酒店大堂休息区进行了45分钟至1小时,通过 FBI 的普通话语言专家翻译进行;任正非出示了中国护照与标明其华为首席执行官兼总裁身份的名片。Lucey 形容他「态度友善、配合」。
被问及任正非是否表示华为与伊朗公司有直接交易时,Lucey 回答:「他表示他们没有直接与伊朗公司交易。」任正非同时表示华为保护知识产权。Lucey 还说,探员们原本打算询问一名华为员工数年前在展会上拍摄竞争对手设备一事,但任正非先主动提起了这个话题。庭审仍在继续,陪审团尚未作出裁决。

FBI Agent Tells Huawei Jury About 2007 Late-Night Interview With Founder Ren Zhengfei
NEW YORK — In the criminal trial of Huawei in Brooklyn federal court, former FBI agent Timothy Lucey told jurors on October 15 about a late-night interview he conducted in 2007 with Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei. Huawei faces racketeering-conspiracy and related charges, which the company denies; Judge Ann Donnelly is presiding, and the trial opened in September.
Lucey testified that agents, after failing all day on July 11, 2007 to get Ren alone, called his room at the St. Regis hotel in Midtown Manhattan in the early hours and asked him to come downstairs. Ren said he had a 6 a.m. flight but agreed to meet, accompanied by two female associates. The interview lasted 45 minutes to an hour in a lounge area of the hotel lobby, conducted through an FBI Mandarin language specialist. Ren showed his Chinese passport and a business card identifying him as chief executive and president of Huawei Technologies. "He was pleasant. He was cooperative," Lucey said.
Asked whether Ren had said Huawei dealt directly with any Iranian company, Lucey answered: "He indicated that they did not directly deal with Iranian companies." Ren also indicated that Huawei protects intellectual property rights. Lucey added that Ren himself first raised an incident the agents had planned to ask about — a Huawei employee caught photographing a competitor's equipment at a trade show a few years earlier. The trial is continuing and the jury has not reached a verdict.
