    New Zealand The Detail
    22 Aug 2025
    A New Zealand soldier stands at a makeshift courtroom at the Linton Military Camp located near the city of Palmerston North in New Zealand on August 18, 2025. A military court found a New Zealand soldier guilty of attempted espionage for a foreign power on August 18 -- the first spying conviction in the country's history. 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. The soldier was the first person to be convicted of spying by a New Zealand court and only the second to be tried after a former public servant was acquitted of espionage in 1975.

    The soldier at the centre of the case was less James Bond and "maybe more like a bumbling wannabe-spy".
