Millions of pieces of evidence collected in Brisbane Russian spy case
Federal prosecutors sifting through millions of pieces of evidence in the case against accused Russian spies have asked for more time, with many documents still yet to be translated into English more than a year after the couple were arrested in Brisbane. Kira Korolev, 41, and her husband Igor Korolev, 63, were taken into custody at their quiet Everton Park home on Brisbane's northside in July last year following a major Federal Police and ASIO foreign interference investigation. Both face charges of preparing for an espionage offence, with the AFP alleging Kira Korelev, who held a role with the Australian army as an information systems technician, travelled to Russia while on leave and instructed her husband to send sensitive material from her work account so it could be shared with foreign authorities. The curious case was heard with little fanfare between dozens of routine alleged crimes at Brisbane Magistrate Court on Friday morning. Loading Commonwealth prosecutor Ellie McDonald requested the case be delayed about three months, citing large quantities of evidence including documents that still required translation from Russian. 'We'll be seeking another lengthy adjournment,' she told the court. 'If I can indicate the scale of material in relation to this matter, there were originally 9 million items tagged on the devices … of which there were 12.' McDonald confirmed a third brief of evidence was served this week.

Man's 'bizarre' comments after airport gunshot fracas
A man involved in an airport scuffle in which a police gun was accidentally fired is back in custody for allegedly assaulting several people the next day. Nicholas Teplin, 41, faced a court on Friday on allegations he hit three men in the head at Sydney's Central Railway Station and then shoved a police officer in custody. He allegedly approached a man and punched him in the face at the station on Thursday afternoon, causing the alleged victim to fall on the floor with a bleeding nose, police said. The 41-year-old then struck another two men in the head as he made his way through the station's concourse, police allege. Police arrested him as he tried to grab a fourth man's bag. The Victorian man was charged with multiple offences including assault of a police officer after he allegedly pushed a constable in the chest while in custody. The episode came the day after an errant bullet was fired at Sydney Airport while Australian Federal Police arrested the Victorian man. A shot was fired from an officer's short-barrelled rifle during the tussle. He was also on police radar for disruptive demeanour at the airport on Tuesday. While not having specific medical evidence for Teplin's condition, Sydney magistrate Daniel Covington on Friday ordered him to receive a mental health assessment. He described the police fact sheet as "bizarre" - in particular, "bizarre comments" Teplin made to federal police officers at the airport. Prosecutors argued there was insufficient evidence to support Teplin's mental illness, pointing to him allegedly telling police after his arrest on Thursday: "I know I'm going to get bail, like always". The comment was inconclusive, Teplin's lawyer David Newham said, adding that Teplin had been medicated for PTSD for the past five years. "It's in the community's best interest that this man gets assessed," he told the court. Teplin will be detained until he is assessed by a psychiatrist and will return to court if the doctors do not find evidence of mental ill-health. NSW Police later suggested Teplin had opportunities to seek help before the railway station incident on Thursday afternoon. "It's called personal responsibility, it's a very simple concept," Chief Inspector Gary Coffey told reporters. "You've got a personal obligation to make sure that you get the treatment you need, so that you're not a danger to people in the community, or a danger to yourself." He declined to comment on the federal police decision to grant Teplin bail on Wednesday but said police made decisions based on the risks that were known at that time. Teplin was bailed after Wednesday's fracas to appear in court in September. He faces charges of obstructing or resisting a federal official and creating a disturbance at an airport over the incident. Federal police on Wednesday declined to detail how the gunfire in the terminal occurred, citing an internal investigation. The police-issued weapon fired when very low to the ground with the bullet lodged in the oven of a nearby cafe, according to police. The arrest came after an airline alerted police to Teplin's suspicious behaviour at the check-in counters in the T2 domestic terminal. When officers tried to speak to him, he allegedly became aggressive. The gunshot caused no injuries and the airport did not go into lockdown, police said. Lifeline 13 11 14 beyondblue 1300 22 4636
