SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian police on Wednesday charged a man with creating and managing a messaging app used by global organised crime networks, in the first case of its kind in the country.
The 32-year-old man was arrested by federal police in western Sydney on Tuesday. He appeared in court on Wednesday charged with five offences relating to running the Ghost messaging platform which police alleged was used by several gangs and organised crime syndicates in the Middle East, Australia and South Korea to import drugs and order killings.
