Cameron Ortis, 51, faces a total of six charges, including an allegation of breach of trust and a computer-related charge

A major issue in Mr. Ortis’s trial is whether he in fact had authority to carry out the actions that he did, which involved contacting the subjects of international police investigations

His lawyer said Ortis will be limited in what he can share in his testimony, because his actions were the result of secret information communicated to him by a ‘foreign agency’

Todd Shean tells court that an RCMP intelligence unit called ‘operations research,’ formerly led by Ortis, took in information from domestic and international partners

Cameron Ortis, 51, is accused of attempting to leak highly classified information about ongoing investigations to four investigative targets, including suspected money launderers.

Retired RCMP staff sergeant tells court that leaks could shut down investigations as Crown alleges Cameron Ortis shared classified information

A former RCMP officer who was leading an investigation into the alleged Canadian associates of an international money-laundering syndicate says tipping off the targets could have jeopardized an international probe.

OTTAWA - A former RCMP investigator who worked on a money laundering probe says he was unaware at the time that someone had sent secret information to people who were of interest to authorities.
