Cameron Jay Ortis, right, a former RCMP intelligence director accused of disclosing classified information, leaves the Ottawa Courthouse following a break in proceedings in Ottawa on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023.
The documents that Cameron Ortis is accused of leaking to alleged associates of an international money-laundering syndicate could have helped targets stay one step ahead of police, an RCMP officer told the jury in his trial Wednesday morning.
Ortis, 51, faces six charges, including four counts of violating the Security of Information Act. He is accused of sharing special operational information "intentionally and without authority" with Salim Henareh and Muhammad Ashraf. He also faces one count of attempting to share special operational information with Farzam Mehdizadeh.
The Crown said information found on the USB found in Ortis's apartment suggested he was amassing information to share with Mehdizadeh, including information about a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration investigation out of Miami and a Montreal-based probe. The U.S. State Department accused Khanani, once described in a media report as "one of the world's most wanted fraudsters," of laundering billions of dollars for organized crime and terrorist outfits, including al-Qaeda and the Taliban.The court heard how Henareh told Neily he had received a package in March of 2015 containing a cover letter, an 11-page FINTRAC disclosure summary and a DVD containing more FINTRAC documents, and gave it to his lawyer.
Ortis is also accused of leaking special operational information to Vincent Ramos, the head of a company that was accused of selling encrypted phones to criminals, including the Khanani network and drug cartels.
