Guns and explosive chemicals found at Adelaide home of defence analyst accused of terror plot, court hears

Scott Henchcliffe, for Vasilyev, told the South Australian supreme court on Thursday that all elements of the alleged offence were in dispute, but his client did not deny having an interest in firearms. Henchcliffe told the court: “The prosecution case only has to be simply described in those terms, I would suggest, for its inherent absurdity to be apparent.”He said his client had no intention of carrying out any attack.

At the time, Vasilyev worked at the defence department’s Defence Science and Technology Group, analysing radio frequencies. A 3D printer was also found, along with a printout containing the methodology to manufacture 3D FGC firearms. Other firearms and ammunition were also located. Hard drives on the PC contained documents on firearms, explosives, how to avoid or escape detection and nationalist and racist ideology, the court was told.
