The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have arrested a former Ontario Power Generation (OPG) worker for allegedly leaking sensitive corporate information.
The RCMP’s Federal Policing Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) in O Division (Ontario) arrested the former employee “for intentionally communicating safeguarded information to a foreign entity or terrorist group knowing or being reckless as to whether the communication would increase the capacity of the foreign entity or terrorist group to harm Canadian interests, contrary to section 16(1) of the Security of Information Act (SOIA),” said the RCMP.
“Evidence indicates that the individual acted with intent to put critical infrastructure at risk.”
