The Sydney businessman Alexander Csergo, who allegedly received cash in envelopes from suspected Chinese spies, is “at the grey end” of Australia’s “intrusive” foreign influence laws, his barrister, Bernard Collaery, says.
Csergo, 55, was arrested in Bondi a week ago and charged with one count of reckless foreign interference. The businessman had been living and working in Shanghai, but returned to Australia recently.
