参考消息网12月8日报道据路透社12月7日报道，美国司法部7日对美国总统乔·拜登的儿子亨特·拜登提出新的刑事指控，指控他未缴纳140万美元税款，同时又花费数百万美元过着奢侈的生活。

A federal court has charged the son of U.S. President Joe Biden with tax evasion.

一家联邦法院指控美国总统拜登的儿子逃税。

Hunter Biden faces a total of nine criminal counts for engaging in a four-year scheme to avoid paying some 1.4 million U.S. dollars in taxes.

亨特·拜登共面临9项刑事指控，他参与了一项为期4年的计划，以逃避支付约140万美元的税款。

According to an indictment filed in the Central District Court of California, Hunter is guilty of three felonies and six misdemeanors involving tax evasion.

根据向加州中部地方法院提交的一份起诉书，亨特犯有涉及逃税的三项重罪和六项轻罪。

He could be sentenced to a maximum of 17 years in prison if convicted.

如果罪名成立，他可能被判处最高17年监禁。

"The defendants engaged in a four-year scheme to avoid paying at least $1.4 million in estimated federal taxes for the 2016 through 2019 tax years," the indictment reads.

起诉书写道：“被告实施了一项为期四年的计划，目的是不缴纳2016至2019纳税年度中至少140万美元的预估联邦税。”

The indictment also says Hunter "spent millions of dollars on a lavish lifestyle instead of paying his tax bill."

起诉书还说，亨特“在奢侈的生活方式上花费了数百万美元，而不是缴纳税单”。

Earlier this year, Hunter pleaded not guilty to charges that he concealed drug use when he bought a handgun, the first criminal prosecution of a child of a sitting U.S. president.

今年早些时候，亨特对他在购买手枪时瞒报吸毒情况的指控表示不认罪，这是对美国现任总统的子女的首次刑事起诉。

Weiss is still investigating whether Hunt will be charged for violating tax laws. As part of the federal investigation into Hunter's business dealings, the special counsel has hired a grand jury in Los Angeles to seek documents and possible testimony from multiple witnesses, CNN reported last month.

韦斯仍在调查亨特是否会因违反税法而受到指控。据美国有线电视新闻网 (CNN) 上个月报道，作为对亨特商业交易的联邦调查的一部分，这位特别检察官已在洛杉矶聘请了一个大陪审团，以寻求多名证人的文件和可能的证词。
