Hong Kong (CNN Business)Australian police have defended raids on the country’s national broadcaster and a prominent journalist, and said more could be coming as they continue an investigation into the alleged publication of state secrets.
The warning came a day after police searched the offices of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in Sydney, acting on what they said was a “referral” from the country’s defense forces over “allegations of publishing classified material.”
“The investigation is complex, it is ongoing, potentially yes, we may do more [searches],” Neil Gaughan, acting commissioner of the Australia Federal Police, told reporters on Thursday. “I’m not going to rule in or rule out anyone being subjected to further charges.”
