Resumen

La negativa del gobierno del Reino Unido a designar a China como una amenaza para la seguridad nacional resultó en el colapso del caso de espionaje contra Christopher Cash y Christopher Berry, acusados de espiar para Pekín.

El caso de espionaje contra Christopher Cash y Christopher Berry se derrumbó debido a la negativa del gobierno del Reino Unido a clasificar a China como una amenaza para la seguridad nacional.

Christopher Cash, un ex investigador parlamentario, y Christopher Berry fueron acusados bajo la Ley de Secretos Oficiales de proporcionar información que podría ser "útil para un enemigo" entre diciembre de 2021 y febrero de 2023. Ambos hombres negaron las acusaciones.

El Director de Fiscales Públicos, Stephen Parkinson, declaró que el caso no podía continuar porque el gobierno se negó a testificar que China representaba una amenaza para la seguridad nacional en el momento de los presuntos delitos.

El Primer Ministro Keir Starmer enfatizó que las acusaciones deben basarse en las circunstancias del momento del presunto delito, señalando que la política del anterior gobierno conservador describía a China como un "desafío definitorio de época" en lugar de una amenaza.

Los legisladores conservadores criticaron la gestión del caso por parte del gobierno, con Alicia Kearns instando a la transparencia sobre las razones del colapso del juicio.

La Embajada China desestimó las acusaciones como "calumnias maliciosas."
