Conservative researcher Christopher Cash charged with spying for China
Quick Glance: Charges Filed Against UK Ex-Parliamentary Researcher for 'China Espionage'
  • London's Metropolitan Police has accused two men, researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry, of violating the Official Secrets Act.

  • The charges coincided with the announcement of the arrest of three German nationals suspected of spying for China and accessing secret maritime technology by German investigators.

  • The British duo is alleged to have transmitted 'articles, notes, documents or information' to a foreign state between 2021 and the previous year.

  • In September, the Met Police disclosed the arrest of a man in his twenties on espionage suspicions. The Sunday Times revealed his parliamentary researcher identity.
