Soldier guilty of attempted espionage in New Zealand’s first such case. The Guardian, 18 August 2025.
A military court has convicted a New Zealand soldier of attempted espionage for a foreign power – the first spying conviction in the country’s history.
The soldier was caught offering to pass military base maps and photographs to an undercover officer posing as an agent for a foreign nation, the court-martial heard.
The man’s name, the country he attempted to spy for and the name of the undercover officer who snared him were all suppressed by the court.
