刘某投敌叛国倒卖情报，死刑！

近期，国家安全机关破获一起我某科研单位工作人员私自拷贝、复制、并向境外间谍情报机关出卖大量国家秘密的间谍案件。

China's national security authorities have uncovered an espionage case involving a researcher from a domestic scientific institution who illegally copied and sold a large amount of state secrets to foreign spy agencies. The individual, surnamed Liu, was convicted of espionage and illegally providing state secrets and has been sentenced to death with lifelong deprivation of political rights, according to an article released by the Ministry of State Security (MSS) on Wednesday.

刘某，原系我某科研院所助理工程师，自认为遭受不公平待遇没有得到重用和提拔，对单位怀恨在心，选择离职。离职前，他私自拷贝、留存了经手的大量涉密资料，准备伺机报复、要挟领导，这也成为其迈向犯罪深渊的第一步。

Liu, a former assistant engineer at a domestic research institute, was driven by resentment after believing he had been treated unfairly and denied promotions. Before resigning, he secretly copied and retained a large volume of classified materials, intending to use them for retaliation and blackmail, said the MSS article. 

离职后，刘某进入某投资机构工作。为了满足贪欲，他不惜严重违反从业准则，借用父母、亲友名义设立多个账户疯狂炒股，多次向亲友借钱甚至利用信用卡非法套现等方式投资高风险金融产品。赌徒心理终至投资失败、债台高筑，巨大的经济压力下，他打起了手中涉密资料的主意，萌生了投敌叛国、倒卖情报的邪念。

After leaving his position, Liu joined an investment firm, but his greed led him to violate professional ethics. Using accounts registered under family and friends' names, he engaged in speculative stock trading. To seek high-risk investments, he borrowed money extensively and even resorted to illegal credit card cash withdrawals. As his financial losses mounted and debts spiraled, he turned to the classified materials he had stolen, plotting to sell them to foreign intelligence agencies, according to the MSS.

刘某自恃有涉密单位工作经历，“精心”设计了一整套兜售情报、逃避侦查的流程。他将交易目标锁定为某境外间谍情报机关并主动投靠，与其达成初步意向后，便开始执行出境兜售计划。

Exploiting his background in a classified institution, Liu carefully devised a plan to sell state secrets while avoiding detection. He proactively reached out to a foreign spy agency, offering intelligence in exchange for money.

To expedite his first transaction, he fragmented and packaged the stolen electronic files, created a detailed catalog, and opened multiple online accounts to receive payments. He also purchased anonymous IC and SIM cards, frequently changed communication channels, and used multiple aliases, relying on prearranged codes for covert communication, according to the MSS article. 

让刘某没想到的是，自以为步步为营的他已经陷入了境外间谍情报机关的圈套，对方以极低的费用骗取了其手中的涉密资料后，就中断了联系。然而无可救药的刘某并未对自己的行为有所警醒，不久又再度携带涉密资料出境兜售。半年时间里，他秘密辗转多个国家，严重泄露了我国家秘密。

However, Liu fell into a trap set by the foreign intelligence agency. After acquiring classified materials at an exceptionally low cost from Liu, the agency severed contact with him. Rather than stopping, Liu attempted to refine his espionage tactics. Within months, he again attempted to sell state secrets abroad, traveling through multiple countries and further compromising national security.

法网恢恢，疏而不漏。刘某与境外间谍情报机关的联络情况被国家安全机关侦查发现并详细掌握，国家安全机关依法对刘某实施抓捕。

Liu's espionage activities did not go unnoticed. National security authorities closely monitored his communications with foreign intelligence agencies, gathering extensive evidence before taking action. He was arrested in accordance with the law, and during the investigation, he confessed to his crimes. 

最终，刘某因犯间谍罪、非法提供国家秘密罪被依法判处死刑，剥夺政治权利终身。

Liu was convicted of espionage and illegally providing state secrets and has been sentenced to death with lifelong deprivation of political rights, according to the MSS article.
