A tax office worker is accused of leaking information to organised criminals, according to multiple Australian news outlets.
The man is also charged with two counts of possessing or controlling child abuse material. Authorities allege the material was found on electronic devices seized from a home in Surfers Paradise.
The reports broadly agree on the charges and the location of the alleged offences, but do not present differing factual details about how the alleged leaking occurred or the extent of any information shared. Coverage focuses on the combined nature of the allegations, linking the alleged disclosure to criminal groups with separate charges relating to child abuse material discovered during investigations. The outlets do not indicate a final outcome in court as of publication and the accused is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
