Cameron Ortis, who faces a total of six charges, including four for allegedly breaching the Security of Information Act, began testifying before a 12-member jury in the Superior Court of Justice a week ago
His lawyer said Ortis will be limited in what he can share in his testimony, because his actions were the result of secret information communicated to him by a ‘foreign agency’
Todd Shean tells court that an RCMP intelligence unit called ‘operations research,’ formerly led by Ortis, took in information from domestic and international partners
An agreed statement of facts says that investigators seized numerous devices from defendant Cameron Ortis’s downtown Ottawa residence in the fall of 2019 after search warrants were executed
