前漁船船長排污向太平洋排放油污水罪名成立

A former fishing boat captain is facing up to six years in prison for deliberately dumping oily slops into the Pacific Ocean.

A jury in Seattle convicted Randall Fox on Thursday for violating the federal Act to Prevent Pollution from Ships.

He also faces a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced.

A crewmember on his boat videotaped Fox dumping waste and turned the tape over to prosecutors.

The Justice Department says Fox's father was also convicted of a pollution- related crime last year.美國一名前漁船船長因故意將沒有處理過的漁船油污水直接排放到太平洋面臨6年監禁。

華盛頓州西雅圖市的陪審團星期四認定前漁船船長福克斯違反了聯邦政府禁止漁船排放污染環境物的法律。

福克斯在被宣判時可能還會面臨最高25萬美元的罰款。

福克斯所在漁船的一名船員在福克斯排放污水時拍攝了錄像，並將錄像交給檢察官。

司法部說，福克斯的父親去年也因爲違反環保法律而被定罪。
