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.Cameron Jay Ortis, right, a former RCMP intelligence director accused of disclosing classified information, leaves the Ottawa Courthouse during a break in proceedings in Ottawa on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2023.
Ortis, 51, 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. A Project Oryx investigation report Martin wrote has become a key piece of evidence in the Crown's case against Ortis.
The Crown alleges snippets of that report and other police intelligence were sent as part of a package to Ashraf."I do not work for a law enforcement or intelligence agency, demonstrated, I think, by the attached documents. I do, however, have the ability to access a wide variety of information."Under questioning by Crown lawyer John MacFarlene, Martin said he had no idea his report had been sent out.
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. He also faces two Criminal Code charges: breach of trust and unauthorized use of a computer.
