When RCMP’s former intelligence director steps into a courtroom, accused of leaking top\u002Dsecret information, he won’t be only one on trial.
Paul Cavalluzzo, a seasoned national security lawyer, said it will be important that Ortis’ case be conducted in public as much as possible.
Most details about the allegations against Ortis are either under a publication ban until the trial begins or are still unknown. In 2019, National Post reported that Ortis was considered one of former RCMP commissioner Bob Paulson’s “golden boys” — a select cadre of civilians who were rapidly climbing the force’s ranks thanks to unique skill sets and knowledge. In Ortis’ case, his area of expertise was cybercrime.
“We believe he has a compelling story and that he won’t be found guilty of any charges,” Ertel said, as Ortis stood quietly behind him.Article content One of the earlier failed cases pursued by the Crown under the Security of Information Act was that of Qing Huang, a Canadian engineer who was arrested in 2013 after an RCMP undercover operation led police to believe he allegedly tried to pass on confidential information about Canada’s shipbuilding strategy to China.
