More details learned about RCMP employee charged with trying to disclose secret information

RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki says it was documents uncovered during a joint probe with the FBI that led investigators to believe there could be a mole, or some kind of internal corruption.

Lucki commented for the first time Tuesday about last week’s arrest of an RCMP employee charged with trying to disclose secret information. She would not speak to a possible motive, or say what information Cameron Ortis had access to in his role as director general of the RCMP’s National Intelligence Co-ordination Centre.
