A husband and wife from Kazakhstan are alleged to have used a hidden camera and earpieces to fraudulently win nearly A$1.2m (\u00a3593,000; $784,000) in an Australian casino.<\/p>\n

The couple were caught after staff at the casino in the central Barangaroo neighbourhood of Sydney noticed Dilnoza Israilova, 36, wearing the small, discreet camera on her Mickey Mouse T-shirt, New South Wales Police said.<\/p>\n

She and her husband, 44-year-old Alisherykhoja Israilov, were then arrested. Police searched them and found “magnetised probes” and a mirror attachment for a phone allegedly used to rig games.<\/p>\n

The pair have been charged with dishonestly obtaining a financial advantage and remain in custody.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

New South Wales Police said the couple had arrived in Sydney from Kazakhstan in October and applied for membership to the casino the same day.<\/p>\n

Over the following weeks, they made a number of visits to the casino – reportedly the Crown on Sydney’s waterfront – and accumulated winnings totalling A$1,179,412.50.<\/p>\n

This raised the suspicions of casino staff, who allegedly caught them in the act on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Police said the spying devices were connected to the couple’s mobile phones, allowing them to capture and view images of the table.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

They also wore hidden earpieces, through which they allegedly received instructions on when to wager on card games. <\/p>\n

A New South Wales Police spokesperson told the BBC that they were not currently looking for any other person in relation to the alleged fraud.<\/p>\n

In a subsequent search of their accommodation near the casino, officers found other “gambling props”, high-end jewellery and \u20ac2,000 (\u00a31,750; $2,320) in cash.<\/p>\n

The pair appeared in court on Friday and were denied bail, New South Wales police said.<\/p>\n

Mrs Israilova is due back in court in February, the Guardian Australia reports, while Mr Israilov is scheduled to appear on 11 December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
