NBC晚间新闻 美警方打击口罩恶意涨价（在线收听）

In New York City police and federal agents arrest three men accused of selling 1000 medical masks for ten times the normal price. In another case, less than a block from one of New York's biggest hospitals, agents from Homeland Security Investigations search a pharmacy tipped off that it was selling masks at vastly inflated prices. I look at these individuals, these organizations as the worst of the worst. They are looking at making a quick buck off the backs of our medical heroes. On Long Island this week officials searched a jewelry store. They say was selling N95 masks for five times what they should cost.

Typically when agents make arrests they seize the evidence and hold it for trial. But the FBI says in these cases agents try to get the medical supplies distributed to places where they're urging needed. We're also working with FEMA to make sure that if we seize it pursuant to an investigation we can work with FEMA to get it into the hands of medical professionals or the people who need it. In Texas the Attorney General sued a Houston auction house for price gouging. Even though bidder set the price not the auctioneer. When FEMA heard about all the boxes of medical supplies federal officials showed up ready to buy. But so did Harris County Texas and because it was armed with a court order and a truck the county won and hauled the material away.

在纽约，三人因被控以十倍正常价格销售1000个医用口罩而被警方和联邦探员逮捕。另一起案件，在距离纽约最大的医院之一不到一个街区的地方，国土安全部的探员在搜查药房时发现，这家公司以极高的价格出售口罩。我将这些人，这些组织视作是最坏的。他们想在我们的医疗英雄身上赚钱。在长岛，公务人员这周搜查了一家珠宝店。他们称正以五倍于正常的价格销售N95口罩。通常情况下，当特工进行逮捕时，他们会收集证据，并将其留到审判时使用。但联邦调查局表示，在这些案件中，探员试图将医疗用品分发到迫切需要它们的地方。我们也和联邦应急管理局进行合作，确保调查之后能利用它们。我们和联邦应急管理局合作，使这些医疗用品能到达专业医护人员或者需要它的人的手中。在德克萨斯州，检察长因哄抬物价起诉了一家休斯顿拍卖行。尽管是出价人而不是拍卖人决定价格。当联邦应急管理局听说了这些成箱的医学用品后，联邦官员就现身准备好购买。德克萨斯的哈利县也准备好了。因为它有法院的命令和一辆卡车，所以他们赢了，并把用品运走了。
