　　据英国广播公司（BBC）中文网今天（10月6日）报道，美国司法部周三（5日）发布消息称，一名中国男子因涉嫌盗取美国转基因的玉米良种，并试图将其运回中国而被判监三年。这名男子名叫莫海龙（音译），是具有美国居民身份的中国公民，也是中国大北农集团的国际业务主管。

　　据《纽约时报》早前的案件梳理，事件可追溯至2011年，位于爱荷华州的美国杜邦公司（DuPont）安保职员在科研农场发现，几名中国男子趴在玉米田内，“正跪在地上挖土”，形迹可疑。随后，他们报告给联邦调查局（FBI），展开监控和调查。

　　FBI发现，玉米地中的可疑男子名为莫海龙，是大北农集团国际业务的主管，其他同伙均为大北农或其下属的北京金色农华种业公司的员工。此外，案件还牵涉另一名关键人物——莫云，她是莫海龙的妹妹，也是大北农集团创始人兼董事长邵根伙的妻子。莫云涉嫌帮助莫海龙及其同伙盗取玉米种子，共有7名中国公民在该案中被起诉。

　　莫海龙于今年一月向爱奥华州一家法庭表示认罪，承认长期密谋偷窃美国农业巨头孟山都公司和杜邦公司研发的转基因玉米种子，并试图运回中国北京大北农集团用于商业目的。

　　该案件由美国联邦调查局（FBI）侦破根据杜邦公司员工的密报而破获。莫海龙于2013年12月在迈阿密被捕，逮捕前，FBI对他进行了长达两年半的调查。

　　美国法庭指控莫海龙等六人试图在2011年从先锋良种公司和孟山都公司在爱荷华州的试验田里盗窃优质玉米良种，然后运往中国。据报道，这些农田属于美国大型农业公司孟山都（Monsanto Co。）、杜邦（DuPont Co。）和LG种子（LG Seeds）。

　　BBC称，莫海龙的律师向法官申请缓刑，但遭到了拒绝。该法官表示她要向未来试图像莫海龙一样行窃的中国公司雇员释放一个明确的信息：“我们需要向中国明示，美国绝不容忍此类犯罪行为。”

　　原告向法官申请判莫海龙5年刑罚，该法官表示3年刚好，因为莫海龙患有一种罕见的癌症，病情有所缓解。

　　据美联社报道，莫海龙今年46岁，20多年前移居美国，已取得永久居留权（拥有美国绿卡），他的妻子和孩子都是美国公民。他的律师马克·魏因哈特（Mark Weinhardt）1月份曾称，莫海龙完成了一种稀有癌症的疗程，健康状况堪忧。
