OTTAWA—The federal prosecution service says a senior RCMP official faces three new charges for alleged secrecy breaches. The Public Prosecution Service of Canada says Ortis faces three new charges under the Security of Information Act, in addition to five earlier ones. These charges will proceed in Ontario Superior Court by way of direct indictment, meaning there will be no preliminary inquiry. Ortis also faces two Criminal Code charges, including breach of trust, in the Ontario Court of Justice. He is due back in court on Tuesday.
