Despite a Federal Court judge finding former SAS corporal Ben Roberts-Smith committed war crimes while serving in Afghanistan, the Victoria Cross recipient may still avoid facing criminal charges.
Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith lost a high-profile defamation case, with the judge finding that the former SAS soldier committed war crimes.
Ben Roberts-Smith has resigned from his role as general manager of Seven Queensland amid the fallout of a Federal Court defamation case judgment that found allegations of war crimes including the shooting of unarmed prisoners in Afghanistan to be substantially true.
