Early last month, the court heard arguments in the extraordinary case of Elena Crenna and her husband David. David Crenna was in charge of a Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation-sponsored project in Tver, a city northwest of Moscow. Former federal public servant David Crenna says he's still baffled by federal claims that his wife Elena spied for the Russians in the 1990s. In their arguments, federal lawyers claimed that David Crenna had no authority to allow his future wife to speak with Russian intelligence. On Monday, David Crenna welcomed the decision and described it as "a pointed rejection" of the border service agency's claims.
