Former FBI official says he had to call RCMP to arrest Jeffrey Delisle in Russian spy case

Former FBI official says Canada’s spy catching system caused delay, angst in Delisle case

“…CSIS watched Delisle pass top-secret information to Russia for months without briefing the RCMP. The spy agency, acting on legal advice, opted to keep its investigation sealed for fear of exposing sources and methods of the intelligence trade in open court proceedings.

“Someone had to call Canada’s cops. Strangely, that task went to me,” says Figliuzzi, who led the FBI’s counter-intelligence division as an assistant director.”
