The mother of a man who has been in custody for more than six months while accused of foreign interference insists he is not a spy as a court considers his release on bail. Catherine Csergo said delays in certifying the charge against her 55-year-old son Alexander Csergo were “absolutely disgusting” outside Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court on Friday. Magistrate Susan Horan is considering whether to grant Csergo bail.
Prosecutors are yet to certify the charge against him, a process that is supposed to occur within six months. Csergo has previously applied for bail in April and June. The magistrate is considering a third application after being satisfied the circumstances have changed. “There has been an exceptional delay,” Collaery told the court on Friday.
