     伊利諾州內珀維爾市（Naperville）一名中國公民申請入籍美國時，涉嫌隱瞞過去曾加入中國共產黨以及與中國情報部門的關係，被聯邦當局控以非法獲得公民身分罪。

起訴書顯示，男被告林陸（Lu Lin，音譯）在2005年申請入籍美國，並在接受2次麵試後於2008年歸化成為美國公民，在同年9月於芝加哥進行宣誓。

綜合《芝加哥論壇》報和新聞網站Patch.com報道，現年58歲的林陸14日被芝加哥聯邦法庭裁定起訴，將在21日出庭受審。起訴書指出，林陸在申請入籍美國時提供虛假資料，謊稱從沒加入中國共產黨和使用其他名字。

CHICAGO, IL — A Naperville man was charged in a federal indictment returned Thursday with obtaining citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, according to a press release from the FBI. 

Lu Lin, 58, of the 4200 block of Colton Circle in Naperville, was indicted Thursday on one count of obtaining citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, the release stated. Lin is scheduled to be arraigned on Jan. 21 at 9:30 a.m. in front of U.S. District Judge Edmund E. Chang.

According to the indictment, Lin, a Chinese citizen who became a naturalized United States citizen, reported on his application for naturalization he had never used any other names and had never been a member of or in any way associated with the Communist Party. Lin, however, had received an identification document containing his photograph but with the name Yung Yeung, the identity of which belonged to China’s Ministry of Public Security. Additionally, Lin was a member of the Chinese Communist Party from 1987 to 1997.

Lin allegedly used the Ministry of Public Security identity to enter Hong Kong and obtain information which Lin provided to the Ministry of State Security. The Ministry of Public Security is China’s law enforcement agency and the national police force. The Ministry of State Security is China’s intelligence agency responsible for counter-intelligence, foreign intelligence, and political security.

If convicted, the Court must impose a reasonable sentence under federal sentencing statues and the advisory U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
