“Christopher Berry, 32, and Christopher Cash, 29, will be charged with providing prejudicial information to a foreign state, China, and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, 26 April.”
Price added: “Criminal proceedings against the defendants are active. No-one should report, comment or share information online which could in any way prejudice their right to a fair trial.”
In a separate statement, Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Met Police’s counter Terrorism command, said his force had overseen an “extremely complex investigation into what are very serious allegations.”
Cash was arrested in March last year and said he was “completely innocent” in a statement released by his lawyers when the arrest became public in September. Both men have been bailed to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Friday, April 26.
