A Taiwanese air force major has been taken into custody for allegedly leaking confidential information to China, a report says.
Identified by his family name Hau, the major allegedly sold information obtained from an E-2K early warning aircraft to China for an unspecified amount of money, the United Daily News on Saturday cited prosecutors as saying.
The information related to Taiwan's land and air intelligence.
Prosecutors have stepped up their investigation and suspect the involvement of up to 20 people in the case, the report said, without indicating whether they were civilians or military personnel.
Officials were not immediately available to comment on the report.
Taiwan has been rocked by several spying scandals in recent years, reflecting the fact that intelligence gathering has continued despite warming ties with China.
Although they split in 1949 at the end of a civil war, Beijing still regards the island as part of its territory awaiting reunification, by force if necessary.
In February, a former Taiwanese air force lieutenant colonel received 12 life sentences for spying for China.
In 2011, an army general and chief of an intelligence unit was sentenced to life for spying for China in one of the island's biggest espionage cases.
屏東439聯隊戰資官 郝志雄收押 27-10-2013 〔記者鮑建信、侯承旭、羅添斌/綜合報導〕屏東空軍四三九聯隊少校戰資官郝志雄涉嫌將E-2K空中預警機等軍事機密,經由卡拉OK店老闆萬宗琳交付某台商後送到中國,並收受三、四十萬元報酬,檢調單位曾搜索基地等多處據點,九月間向法院聲請羈押兩人獲准,並全力追緝該名台商。 相關單位憂心認為,郝志雄將機密資料賣給中國,可能已有相當數量的重要機密資訊遭外洩給中國,令軍方高層不敢輕忽,擔心會出現「單點被破,全軍潰堤」之虞,進而危及美台軍事合作安全,國防部已下令進行高規格的損害評估,以及進行必要的管控作為。 軍機洩中 軍方憂危及台美合作 據了解,今年六月間,調查局中機組接獲檢舉,指屏東空軍四三九聯隊基地軍官涉及共諜案,經初步清查後,認為內情不單純,因事涉國家安全法,報請高雄高分檢擴大偵辦。國防部則說,國防部保防安全部門於今年六月獲報,指郝志雄言行涉有洩漏我國機密等的重大嫌疑,依法執行反情報調查作為,由於發現另有民間人士涉案情事,會同調查局共同偵辦。 檢調人員深入追查後,發現郝志雄經常出入聯隊附近的一家卡拉OK店飲酒作樂,認識老闆萬宗琳後,因萬與一名台商熟悉 ,對方並經常出入中國,早被對岸吸收,返台幫忙物色現、退役軍官發展組織或刺探軍機,該台商於是透過萬刺探軍機。 九月十四日上午,辦案人員見時機成熟,展開收網行動,搜索郝的辦公室及萬嫌住家等處,查扣筆記本、存摺等資料,認為郝、萬兩人涉案情節重大,有串證、滅證之虞,之後聲請法官羈押禁見獲准。 郝熟悉戰管通訊 追查洩密程度 據悉,郝曾任電子官、戰資官等職務,對基地戰管、預警機通訊等業務相當熟悉。四三九聯隊則指出,少校戰資官郝志雄其個人物品及電腦已遭查扣,究竟有多少機密業務被轉賣到對岸,由檢察官及國防部調查中。案發後聯隊已加強人員檢查及保密機制,目前研判整個聯隊只有郝志雄一人涉案,聯隊也將全力配合調查。 屏東四三九聯隊電戰大隊的主力裝備就是E-2K空中預警機,可在五百五十公里距離內偵測所有飛行器動態,同時追蹤兩千個目標,可同時擔任預警、指揮管制等多項任務,也可做為陸地系統遭到摧毀後的備份系統。 我國空軍向美國陸續購買六架E2型空中預警機,其中四架經過兩梯次性能提升,已經全數完成升級,改裝的範圍包括雷達偵測及發動機提升,進一步提升偵搜能力,並可跟美軍進行資料鏈傳輸系統連結,外觀則從四葉換成八葉螺旋槳。 |
