Sensitive government files allegedly were discovered in the home of a high-profile Chinese socialite and her Australian husband, a former high-ranking intelligence official, during ASIO raids in Canberra.

A Fairfax Media and Four Corners investigation reports，the raid targeted Sheri Yan and former Australian diplomat Roger Uren, over allegations she was involved in operations for the Chinese Communist Party.

The raid in October 2015 came as Ms Yan was arrested by the FBI in New York for bribing a senior United Nations official for which she was jailed last year after pleading guilty to bribery charges.
