Alexander Csergo, who has been working in China for two decades, is only the second person arrested under Australia’s foreign interference laws.
An Australian marketing professional who has been working in China for two decades has faced court after becoming just the second person arrested under Australia’s foreign interference laws.
Police will allege that part of Csergo’s conduct was “covert and involved deception” and he was reckless as to whether his activities would support the intelligence activities of a foreign principal. The alleged offences occurred between February 2021 and April 14, 2023, police say. He allegedly compiled multiple reports for “Ken” and “Evelyn” and received payment for those reports.
Csergo, whose LinkedIn page describes him as a “multi award-winning integrated communications, technology infrastructure, business strategy and operational transformation specialist”, was arrested at a home in Bondi on Friday afternoon.
