Renaming Cornwallis Street in Nora Bernard's name | SaltWireOTTAWA —A former RCMP Assistant Commissioner says alleged leaks of classified intelligence by his ex-employee Cameron Ortis were “so criminal”, caused “irreparable harm” to the national police force, betrayed its “every” intelligence partner and could have “signed someone’s death warrant.”
He pleaded not guilty to all charges at the onset of his trial and his lawyers have said they intend to argue that Ortis had full authority to do everything he did. He is expected to testify at the trial in the coming days. According to the U.S. government, Khanani’s network laundered money for a wide range of criminal organizations, from Mexican cartels to terrorist groups such as Hezbollah and Al-Qaeda.
One of the documents discovered amongst a trove of electronic devices discovered at Ortis’ home in 2019 detailed how one individual in the network may be working with U.S. Homeland Security. Another message he allegedly sent to a criminal named Vincent Ortis strongly implied one of his associates had been contacted by an undercover RCMP agent.
Shean said the revelation that Ortis may have shared intelligence from security agencies in Canada and abroad was immensely damaging to the RCMP’s reputation.
