If he was in the U.S - he would be charged as a RICO offender like the mob. Too many offences to be put in one charge sheet.
In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019
It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .
