A member of the Canadian Armed Forces’ intelligence-collection unit has been arrested and charged in an ongoing foreign interference probe, the military announced Thursday. |
|
|
Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar, a member of the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command, has been charged with multiple offences under Canada’s foreign interference law as well as the National Defence Act and the Criminal Code. |
|
|
The arrest and charges stem from a joint operation between the Canadian Forces Military Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. |
|
|
The eight charges include “communicating special operational information” under the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act, the military said. |
