A former U.K. Parliament researcher and his alleged accomplice have been granted bail after being charged with espionage for China, according to officials.
A former researcher working in the U.K. Parliament and another man charged with spying for China were granted bail Friday after an initial court appearance in London. Christopher Cash, 29, and Christopher Berry, 32, were charged with violating the Official Secrets Act by providing information or documents that could be 'useful to an enemy' — China — and 'prejudicial to the safety or interests' of the U.K. between late 2021 and February 2023.
The Chinese Embassy has called the allegations 'completely fabricated' and 'malicious slander,' and urged the U.K. to 'stop anti-China political manipulation.' The pair were charged the same day that three people were arrested in Germany on suspicion of spying for China and arranging to transfer information on technology with potential military uses.
