Alberta RCMP officer charged with national security breach by accessing records for Rwanda

An Alberta RCMP officer has been charged in relation to a national security breach that assisted a foreign actor.

On Tuesday, Mounties said Const. Eli Ndatuje, 36, is facing three charges related to the sharing of “non-top secret” information accessed from the force’s records system.
