Ben Roberts-Smith, l'ancien soldat le plus décoré d'Australie, a été inculpé le 7 avril à Sydney pour cinq crimes de guerre présumés commis en Afghanistan entre 2009 et 2012. Il est accusé d'avoir assassiné ou commandité le meurtre de civils non armés dans la province d'Uruzgan. L'inculpation fait suite à la perte de procès en diffamation intentés contre des médias qui l'avaient accusé de ces actes. Les allégations comprennent le meurtre d'un civil afghan non armé et la participation au mitraillage d'un homme portant une prothèse de jambe. L'enquête a duré cinq ans en raison de la difficulté à recueillir des preuves en Afghanistan.
