Террорист халдлага үйлдсэн хэрэгт сэжиглэгдэж буй Навид Акрамын шүүх хурал нотлох баримтын хэмжээ их байгаатай холбоотойгоор хойшлогдов.
Сиднейн Даунинг төвийн шүүхэд лхагва гарагт болсон хурлаар уг хэргийг 2-р сарын 24-ний өдөр хүртэл хойшлуулах шийдвэр гаргав. Прокурорын зүгээс тухайн өдөр гэхэд Акрамд холбогдох ял шийтгэлийн баримт бичгийг албан ёсоор баталгаажуулахад бэлэн болно гэж мэдэгджээ. Одоогоор сэжигтэн өөрийн гэм буруугийн талаар ямар нэгэн мэдүүлэг өгөөгүй байна.
Өдгөө 24 настай Навид Акрам болон түүний эцэг 50 настай Сажид Акрам нар 12-р сарын 14-нд Бонди далайн эрэг дээр зохион байгуулагдсан Ханука баярын үеэр гал нээж, 15 хүний аминд хүрч, 40 хүнийг шархдуулсан хэрэгт буруутгагдаж байгаа юм. Цагдаа нартай буудалцсаны улмаас Сажид Акрам газар дээрээ амиа алдсан бол Навид Акрамд ISIS-аас санаа авсан байж болзошгүй террорист үйлдэл хийсэн зэрэг 78 төрлийн зүйл ангиар ял төлөвлөөд байна.
Прокурор Даниел Нью шүүхэд мэдүүлэхдээ, хамтарсан терроризмын эсрэг баг урьд өмнө байгаагүй өргөн хүрээтэй мөрдөн шалгах ажиллагаа явуулсныг онцолсон байна. Нотолгооны материалд олон мянган гэрчийн мэдүүлэг, эмнэлгийн болон санхүүгийн баримтууд, халдлага болсон газрын дүрс бичлэгүүд багтаж байгаа аж. Шүүхээс прокурорын хүсэлтийг хүлээн авч, хохирогчид болон тэдний ар гэрийнхэнтэй зөвлөлдөх үйл явцыг бүрэн дуусгахын тулд ийнхүү хугацаа олгожээ.

Цагдаагийн байгууллагын мэдээлснээр, гэмт этгээдүүд халдлагыг олон сарын турш нарийн төлөвлөсөн байсан бөгөөд үүнд зэвсгийн сургуулилт, тэсрэх бодис бэлтгэх, ISIS-ийн үзэл суртлаар хийсэн дүрс бичлэг зэрэг багтаж байжээ. Тэд халдлага болохоос хоёр хоногийн өмнө Бонди далайн эрэгт ирж, тандалт хийсэн нь тогтоогдсон байна.

The criminal case against Naveed Akram for his alleged role in the Bondi terror attack faces more delays after an “unprecedented” investigation by the joint counter-terrorism team.
The matter will not return to court until 24 February after it was adjourned on Wednesday before Sydney’s Downing Centre local court. Prosecutors expect to be ready to certify the charges against Akram, who is yet to enter a plea, by that date.
Akram, 24, and his father, 50-year-old Sajid Akram, allegedly murdered 15 people after opening fire at a Hanukah festival at Bondi beach on 14 December. Forty people were injured.
Naveed Akram, who survived a shootout with police, has been charged with 78 offences, including 15 counts of murder and one count of committing a terrorist act that investigators allege may have been “inspired by Isis”. Sajid Akram was shot and killed by police at the scene.
Akram was charged with 59 offences in December, with 19 more added in April as the investigation progressed.
The prosecutor, Danielle New, made the application for the adjournment, without opposition from Akram’s defence team, on Wednesday. She said prosecutors had now completed their brief of evidence, which had also been beset by delays due to the sheer volume of evidence involved in the case.
The judge, Karen Stafford, granted the adjournment after New argued more time was needed so investigators could consult the Akrams’ alleged victims and next of kin on the charges laid against Akram ahead of the offences being certified before the court.
This certification process is a standard step in a criminal case, whereby prosecutors formally list the offences proceeding to trial.
New said her team did not want to “rush” the consultations and were conscious that Hanukah was approaching, as well as the Christmas holidays and summer shutdown period for the courts.
“It’s important the crown goes over everything again, to make sure no person’s narrative is left untold,” New told the court.

New said the brief of evidence included thousands of witness statements, medical records, financial statements and purchases made by the Akrams, and footage from Bondi beach on the evening of the attack.
“The [joint counter-terrorism team] has engaged in an investigation the size of which has been unprecedented,” New told the court. “The commitment by all involved is nothing short of highly professional.”
In December, the police “fact sheet” – which was released via the courts and outlined the then allegations against Naveed Akram – alleged there was evidence that the pair “meticulously planned this terrorist attack for many months”. This allegedly included the creation of an “ISIS inspired” video, firearm training and the making of explosives.
The pair, police said in the document, allegedly undertook a “reconnaissance” visit to Bondi two days before the attack, visiting the footbridge from which they are accused of deliberately firing at those gathered at the Jewish festival.
