华盛顿9月24日 路透社电 — 巴哈马驻美国大使周四对路透社表示，巴哈马指控“ rogue”缉毒局特工在其领土上非法活动，并于上周就此事向特朗普政府提出抗议。
巴哈马驻美大使温德尔·琼斯称，巴哈马官员于周五在华盛顿与美国司法部的一次会议中提交了这份抗议。

这起抗议可能会加剧美巴执法合作紧张局势，在一场重大美国毒品贩运起诉搅动巴哈马政坛之际，重新引发主权争议。

在过去18个月里，美国调查人员已起诉了六名以上巴哈马人，其中包括该国警察和国防部队的高级成员。他们被控参与一项从南美经巴哈马向美国走私毒品的行动。
琼斯表示，这些起诉并未影响巴哈马关于缉毒局特工非法活动的抗议。
“我们就巴哈马境内无巴哈马政府或皇家巴哈马警察部队许可便开展行动的 rogue缉毒局特工行为提出了一般性抗议，这是一个法律问题，也是一个条约问题，”琼斯在电话采访中说道。

美国国务院、司法部和缉毒局未立即回应置评请求。
巴哈马报纸《论坛报》最先报道了这起抗议事件。该报援引了美国驻巴哈马大使赫歇尔·沃克的话，沃克将这一指控斥为“假新闻”。
作为距离迈阿密仅50英里的美国亲密盟友，巴哈马仅批准了7名缉毒局特工在该国开展活动，琼斯说道。
琼斯未提供据称未经巴哈马政府授权便开展活动的缉毒局特工人数估算，但表示这种情况“多年来一直存在”，并补充称特朗普政府已告知巴哈马官员将对此事展开调查。
巴哈马并非唯一提出类似抗议的国家。今年4月，墨西哥官员称当月一起车祸中丧生的两名美国特工当时未经许可在该国开展活动。

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – The Bahamas accused “rogue” DEA agents of operating illegally on its territory and raised the issue with the Trump administration last week, the country’s ambassador to the US told Reuters on Thursday.
Bahamian officials lodged the grievance on Friday in a meeting in Washington with the US Department of Justice, Wendall Jones, Bahamian ambassador to the US, said.

The complaint threatens to strain US-Bahamian law enforcement cooperation, reviving questions about sovereignty as a major US drug trafficking prosecution rattles Bahamian politics.

US investigators have indicted more than half a dozen Bahamians over the last 18 months, including senior members of the country’s police and defense force. They are accused of participating in an operation to smuggle drugs from South America through The Bahamas to the United States.
Jones said the indictments did not factor into The Bahamas’ complaint alleging illegal DEA operations.
“We made a general complaint of the behavior of rogue DEA agents in The Bahamas who operate without the consent of the government or the Royal Bahamas Police Force, and that is a matter of law, matter of treaty,” Jones said in a phone interview.

The US State Department, Justice Department and DEA did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
The Bahamian newspaper The Tribune first reported news of the complaint. It quoted US Ambassador to The Bahamas Herschel Walker, who dismissed the accusation as “fake news.”
A close US ally located just 50 miles from Miami, The Bahamas authorizes seven DEA agents to operate on the island, Jones said.
Jones did not provide an estimate for the number of DEA agents believed to be operating without Bahamian government authorization, but said it has happened “over the many years,” adding that the Trump administration told Bahamian officials that it will investigate the matter.
The Bahamas is not the only country to lodge similar objections. In April, Mexican officials alleged that two US agents who died in a car crash that month were working in the country without authorization.
