The Cyberspace Administration of China and the National Financial Regulatory Administration have stepped up oversight of online financial information and acted against a batch of accounts publishing or spreading "malicious debt evasion", "improper anti-collection", "claims agent" and "credit repair" content tied to financial black/gray-market activity.

A 46-year-old Greek national, Ioannis Aidinidis, pleaded not guilty on Friday in a London court to charges under the UK National Security Act alleging he was directed by a foreign intelligence service to surveil a journalist at London-based broadcaster Iran International. Aidinidis, born in Georgia and living in Munich at the time of his arrest, was charged in May and remains remanded in custody; his trial is scheduled for May next year. Prosecutors say he travelled to the UK twice in April and May to monitor the journalist; police say they believe he acted on instructions from Iran. Tehran has repeatedly denied involvement in attacks or plots on UK soil.
