Australia’s most decorated soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith, has been charged with alleged war crimes and for the second time in several years is shaping up for what could be described as the “trial of the century”.
Mr Roberts-Smith unsuccessfully sued Nine Newspaper for defamation in the Federal Court over a series of stories in which he was accused of taking part in unlawful killings during his deployment in Afghanistan.
The Victoria Cross and Medal for Gallantry recipient has consistently denied the allegations, and took his fight all the way to the High Court.
He lost an appeal in the Full Court of the Federal Court, before the High Court refused him special leave to appeal.
On Tuesday, the former corporal was arrested by the Australian Federal Police as he prepared to step off a flight from Brisbane to Sydney with his family.
