Engineer seeks appeal
An electronics engineer, Kenneth Anthony Moreau, found guilty of theft after New Zealand’s first major industrial espionage trial, says he will take the conviction to the Court of Appeal. Moreau was fined $l5OO by Judge Avinash Deobhakta after a jury found him guilty of stealing circuits and confidential papers from his former employer, Hydrox Corporation N.Z., Ltd. The equipment was found in Moreau’s briefcase at Auckland Airport last year as he was about to leave for Korea. It had been developed by Hydrox for a machine that turned water into hydrogen and oxygen gas.—PA.
