Ex-RCMP director offered to leak information continuously in exchange for money, court records allege

OTTAWA — Court records show former RCMP intelligence director Cameron Ortis allegedly promised to continue leaking sensitive information to a B.C. businessman under international investigation if he agreed to pay $20,000 for a first trove of classified documents, prosecutors say.

The offer is described in a 507-page packet of documents that both the Crown and defence have agreed are factual and submitted in the trial of Ortis, who is charged with breaching Canada’s national secrets law.
