International Canadian former intelligence chief found guilty of leaking state secrets

[panem-et-circenses]

“A jury has found the former head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police intelligence unit guilty of leaking state secrets, the first time a Canadian has been convicted under the country’s Security of Information Act

On Wednesday afternoon, jurors said Cameron Ortis was guilty of three counts of violating the act and one count of attempting to do so. They also found him guilty of breach of trust and fraudulent use of a computer.

The charges followed one of Canada’s largest-ever security breaches, a revelation that alarmed Five Eyes allies.”

Might be doing hard time.

"Ortis was accused of leaking special operational information "without authority" to Phantom Secure CEO Vincent Ramos — who sold encrypted cellphones to organized crime members — and Salim Henareh and Muhammad Ashraf, two men police suspected of being agents of an international money-laundering network with ties to terrorists."

I hope they throw the book at him.
