US FBI Considering Additional Economic Espionage Charges Against Employee in OpenAI Wiretapping Case
English text is being prepared.
A US law enforcement official said the FBI is investigating whether Al-Fawzan, the employee involved in the OpenAI wiretapping case, stole information from OpenAI and provided it to the Saudi government, and that in addition to suspicions of economic espionage, it is also investigating whether he committed crimes such as theft of trade secrets. The official said the investigation may ultimately not lead to any additional charges. Al-Fawzan's lawyer Pelnik said he has not received any information from the US government about possible additional charges and said he will contest them in court; the Saudi Embassy in Washington and OpenAI both declined to comment.

阿尔福赞涉嫌安装窃听装置
该官员称，调查的核心在于阿尔福赞是否从OpenAI窃取信息，以提供给沙特政府，即使他并非被招募来这样做。
这名执法官员表示，美国政府正在进行的调查除了涉及经济间谍活动的疑点外，还在调查阿尔福赞是否犯有窃取商业秘密等罪行。该官员称，调查也有可能最终不会导致任何追加指控。
阿尔福赞的律师威廉·佩尔尼克(William Pernik)表示，他尚未从美国政府方面收到任何关于可能追加指控的信息。他说：“我们已经非常明确地表示，阿尔福赞先生将在法庭上、而不是在媒体上，对这些指控和说法进行抗辩。”
FBI探究经济间谍指控，并不一定意味着美国政府会指控阿尔福赞受沙特政府指使行事。相反，相关指控可能基于这样的说法：阿尔福赞计划在日后将其涉嫌收集到的信息兜售给沙特方面。
截至发稿，沙特驻华盛顿大使馆和OpenAI均拒绝置评。
