Sub-Lieutenant Jeffrey Paul Delisle, who was arrested seven months ago, is currently facing accusations of leaking intelligence from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, and the United States. Documents indicate that the 41-year-old naval officer communicated “to a foreign entity information that the Government of Canada is taking measures to safeguard,” between June 6, 2007 and Jan 13, 2012, as reported in the National Post.
Over the past few days, the New Zealand, Australian, and Canadian governments have kept quiet on the issue, not wishing to jeopardize their countries’ intelligence matters. What information Delisle allegedly leaked has not yet been disclosed, nor have there been any confirmation as to where the information went. Many media outlets are reporting that the information was leaked to Russia. Delisle is to appear in Nova Scotia’s supreme court for a preliminary hearing in October.
