At the time of his arrest, Mr. Ortis was serving as the director general of the National Intelligence Coordination Centre.

Ortis Worked As A Spy

Mr Ortis was found guilty of acting as a spy for a criminal entity.

He was arrested back in 2019 and charged with six counts for leaking sensitive national security information.

Prosecutors said Mr. Ortis received hefty sums for sharing the information with three individuals linked to an international money-laundering ring.

Mr Ortis has rejected the accusations of espionage.

He has said that he was working to protect the motherland from grave danger by doing so.

The BBC said the case will test Canada’s potential to persecute espionage cases.
