An Australian man has been detained on suspicion of providing sensitive information to foreign intelligence agencies in the country
Alexander Sergo, a 55-year-old IT specialist, was arrested shortly after returning to Sydney by the Australian Federal Police
Australian authorities say he has been in contact with two foreign spies for the past two years, and it is said that these individuals offered him money in exchange for the information
The Australian Federal Police stated in a statement that a person claiming to be an employee of a think tank had contacted Mr. Sergo through social networks
Although the statement does not specify which intelligence agencies the individuals who met with him belonged to, it is possible that Mr. Sergo met with them in Shanghai, China
This is the second such incident to occur in Australia in the past 5 years
If Alexander Sergo is proven guilty, he could face up to 15 years in prison
