The Australian Federal Police has warned the High Court of the risk of “unscrambling” its investigation into a suspected foreign interference plot by a NSW Labor staffer if it is forced to hand back evidence seized during raids earlier this year.
The warning is contained in the AFP’s defence to a High Court challenge by former ALP staffer John Zhang, who is attempting to quash search warrants executed against him and to secure the return of the material seized.
