Please stop changing the titles of the things you submit! I flagged this for that reason, although I'm in Australia and it seems an important case, for Australians at least.
Also, the articles your article itself links to are much, much more informative about the case, the historical facts, and the man at the centre of it, than the one you posted, although from 2020:
This article is from August 2020. The title (as delivered to me just now) is 'Bernard Collaery trial is a highly unusual criminal prosecution'.
Some background:
ASIS bugged the Timor-Leste Prime Minister's office in 2004 during negotiations of the Timor Sea Treaty. Allegations of this became public in 2013 and Timor-Leste referred the case to the International Court of Justice. Collaery was representing "Witness K" (in relation to the ICJ case). ASIO raided Collaery's office at the end of 2013 under the newly elected Abbott government. The charges were filed in 2018 (five years later) shortly after the Attorney-General stepped down (and was replaced). The prosecution of Collaery and his client "Witness K" is ongoing.
