Australian man who had lived in China becomes second person ever charged with violating his country's foreign interference laws after allegedly selling information to suspected spies
55-year-old man who had lived in Shanghai allegedly compiled a number of reports and received payment from two individuals who work for a foreign intelligence service and are undertaking intelligence collection activities.
Alexander Csergo, 55, appeared via video link on Saturday before a court in the Sydney suburb of Parramatta, and lawyers asked to adjourn the matter until Monday, which was granted by the judge, according to Reuters witnesses. Csergo is alleged to have intentionally engaged in conduct on behalf of or in collaboration with persons acting on behalf of a principal, and was "reckless as to whether the conduct would support intelligence activities of a foreign principal, and a part of the conduct was covert or involved deception", the court document said.
