Sacramento auto shop indicted for selling stolen catalytic converters worth millions
萨克拉门托的一家汽车商店因出售偷窃的催化转换器而被起诉，价值数百万美元
SACRAMENTO, Calif. —
A Sacramento auto shop with a suspended license that was operating out of a home is facing federal charges after allegedly receiving more than $38 million in payment for transporting stolen catalytic converters across state lines, according to a federal indictment.
根据一份联邦起诉书，萨克拉门托一家被吊销执照的汽车商店正在面临联邦指控，据称该商店通过跨州运输被盗的催化转换器获得了超过3800万美元的报酬。
According to court documents, the owners and employees of Vang Auto, a purported automotive dismantler business in Sacramento, transported stolen catalytic converters to DG Auto Parts, a catalytic converter extraction company in New Jersey.
根据法庭文件，Vang Auto的所有者和员工，据称是萨克拉门托的一家汽车拆解公司，将被盗的催化转换器运输到新泽西的催化转换器提取公司DG Auto Parts。
The indictment states that DG Auto Parts removed the core from the converters using a "de-canning" machine and other processes that extracted powdered precious metals from the catalytic converters, and then packaged and transported the resulting powders to a metal refinery in New Jersey for further processing, and to be sold for profit.
起诉书称，DG汽车零部件公司使用“脱罐”机和其他方法从催化转换器中提取贵金属粉末，然后将产生的粉末包装并运输到新泽西州的一家金属精炼厂进行进一步加工，然后出售获利。
This alleged illegal operation was part of a nationwide crackdown on stolen catalytic converter thefts across the United States.
这种所谓的非法操作是美国全国范围内打击催化转化器盗窃行动的一部分。
The U.S. attorney for California's Eastern District indicted nine people in Sacramento, which court documents state are the owners and employees of Vang Auto.
美国加州东区检察官在萨克拉门托起诉了9人，法庭文件显示，这些人是Vang Auto的所有者和雇员。
If convicted, all parties will have to pay the money back; if they can't, the federal government will seize their property.
如果罪名成立，所有当事人都必须偿还这笔钱;如果他们做不到，**就会没收他们的财产。
Catalytic converters are a component of a vehicle's exhaust device that reduce the toxic gas pollutants from the engine.
催化转换器是汽车排气装置的一个组成部分，可以减少来自发动机的有毒气体污染物。
In order to accomplish the goal of fewer emissions, there's a large amount of precious metals, including palladium, platinum and rhodium, compacted inside.
为了达到减少排放的目标，里面压缩了大量的贵金属，包括钯、铂和铑。
Some of the precious metals are more valuable per ounce than gold, and their value has increased in recent years.
有些贵金属每盎司的价值比黄金还高，近年来它们的价值有所上升。
Certain catalytic converters can be sold on the streets for above $1,000 each, according to federal authorities.
根据联邦当局的说法，某些催化转换器可以以每台1000美元以上的价格在街上出售。
California, along with some other states, requires a higher emission standard, thus catalytic converters on vehicles registered in California will contain a higher concentration of precious metals.
加州和其他一些州要求更高的排放标准，因此在加州注册的汽车的催化转换器将含有更高浓度的贵金属。
A KCRA 3 Investigation revealed reports of catalytic converter thefts skyrocketed to 1,500% in Sacramento County over recent years.
KCRA 3的一项调查显示，近年来萨克拉门托县催化转化器盗窃的报告飙升至1500%。
