涉嫌在美跟監台灣總統賴清德長子賴廷與的中國代理人張婉瑩(Wanying "Heather" Zhang,音譯),案件進入司法程序。美國哥倫比亞廣播公司(CBS)報導,34歲的美籍華裔女子張婉瑩5日首度在洛杉磯聯邦法院提堂,她出庭時雙手戴手銬、腳戴腳鐐,在法庭上僅簡短確認個人姓名,並表示理解檢方提出的指控。

庭訊過程十分簡短。承辦的聯邦治安法官當天宣布,將原定的羈押聽證會(Detention Hearing)延後至週三(7日)下午舉行,以便張婉瑩有充分時間尋找並委任私人刑事辯護律師。在此之前,張婉瑩暫時由美國法警局(U.S. Marshals Service)繼續拘押,尚未獲准交保。

被控非法代理人 面臨10年刑期

根據聯邦調查局(FBI)日前提交的刑事起訴書,張婉瑩涉嫌在未向美國司法部依法登記的情況下,秘密接受中國政府官員指示,前往華盛頓州西雅圖對賴廷與及其家人進行貼身跟監、拍攝座車車牌,並透過加密管道向中方人員回報。張婉瑩4日準備在洛杉磯國際機場搭乘飛往上海的航班前,遭FBI探員當場攔截逮捕。

加州中區第一助理聯邦檢察官艾賽利(Bill Essayli)指出,張婉瑩被控違反《美國法典》第18編第951條「未登記外國政府代理人」等罪名,若未來經審判成立,最高將面臨10年聯邦監禁。

週三的羈押聽證會將是案件下一個司法程序節點,屆時將處理張婉瑩是否繼續遭到拘押及相關交保問題。
