Documents reveal fresh details about Roberts-Smith’s overseas moving plans

Ben Roberts-Smith, a war veteran and Victoria Cross recipient, was arrested at Sydney Airport on allegations of war crimes, including five counts of murder. Court documents revealed that he was planning to relocate to Singapore or Spain, and had taken steps to establish a business venture and employment for his partner to support a visa application. Prosecutors argued that his attempts to move overseas raised concerns about his willingness to face prosecution, but Roberts-Smith and his partner denied any intention to flee and claimed they were only planning to relocate temporarily. He was granted bail on certain conditions, with his case expected to return to court in June.
