Lawyers for Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director accused of leaking top-secret information, are expected to argue that their client had 'authority to do everything he did' when his long-awaited trial gets underway next week.
Cameron Ortis, a senior intelligence official at the RCMP, leaves the courthouse in Ottawa on Oct. 22, 2019. Ortis is accused of violating the Security of Information Act.
Ortis, who was the head of the RCMP's national intelligence co-ordination centre at the time of his arrest, is going to trial on six charges, including four counts of violating the Security of Information Act. After his arrest in September of 2019, then-RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki said that because of the nature of his position, Ortis had access to Canadian and allied intelligence."He's looking forward to testifying," said Ertel. "We believe he has a compelling story and that he won't be found guilty of any charges."The former civilian RCMP official was arrested in September of 2019 and held behind bars for more than three years.
