This is the best summary I could come up with:

A jury has found Cameron Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence official accused of leaking secret information to police targets, guilty of all charges against him.

The former civilian RCMP member faced six charges in total, including multiple counts under the Security of Information Act, the law meant to protect Canada’s secrets.

The Crown argued Ortis used his position within the RCMP — leading a unit that had access to Canadian and allied intelligence — to leak sensitive information to police targets in early 2015.

Ortis was accused of leaking special operational information “without authority” to Phantom Secure CEO Vincent Ramos — who sold encrypted cellphones to organized crime members — and Salim Henareh and Muhammad Ashraf, two men police suspected of being agents of an international money-laundering network with ties to terrorists.

Ortis was accused of sending the men Canadian intelligence, including RCMP assets and documents from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC).

According to a transcript of that testimony, the alleged operation, which Ortis said he called “OR Nudge,” was intended to lure criminals to an encrypted email service to allow authorities to intercept their messages.
