According to sources, RCMP HQ Director General of the intelligence unit, Cameron Ortis was arrested in Ottawa under the secrets act for alleged espionage by foreign powers.
The arrest occurred on September 12 in Ottawa after an extensive national security investigation.
One insider called the allegations “serious spy s**t.”

- Section 14(1) of the Security of Information Act
- Section 22(1)(b) of the Security of Information Act
- Section 22(1)(e) of the Security of Information Act
- Section 122 of the Criminal Code
- Section 342.1(1) of the Criminal Code
Most charges relate to unauthorized leaking of prohibited information, unauthorized use of a computer, and break of trust.
Ortis could serve 33 years in prison if convicted.
