Igor Korolev only accessed his wife's work account when she was in Russia. There is still no evidence that espionage was committed by the Russian couple. In Australia, you could be arrested for being suspicious without committing actual crimes.



AFP commissioner Reece Kershaw on Friday said the woman, who had security clearance, had allegedly been “undertaking non-declared” travel to Russia while on long-service leave from the defence force when the alleged offences took place.

“We allege that whilst she was in Russia, she instructed her husband, who remained in Australia, on how to log into her official work account from their Brisbane home,” he said.

“We allege her husband would access requested material and would send it to his wife in Russia. We allege they sought that information with the intention of providing it to Russian authorities.”

Mr Kershaw said investigations were still ongoing as to whether the information related to Australian national security interests had been handed over, but that at this stage there was “no significant compromise”.
