Two Russian-born Australian citizens have been charged with preparing for an espionage offense in Australia. The married couple, who had been residing in Australia for over a decade, were arrested at their home in Everton Park, a suburb of Brisbane.
The woman, aged 40, was an army private working as an information systems technician with the Australian Defence Force (ADF) for several years. Her husband, aged 62, was a self-employed laborer. Both individuals obtained Australian citizenship, with the woman becoming a citizen in 2016 and her husband in 2020.
