Toronto currency trader Cameron Ortis leaked intel documents to, Salim Henareh, cited in $1.167-Billion worth of transactions analyzed by Fintrac and Ortis' elite RCMP unit

In 2015 Cameron Ortis, a senior RCMP intelligence officer, systematically planned and leaked top secret "signals intelligence" from the Five Eyes to the Toronto-area agents of Altaf Khanani, the Dubai-based mastermind of a multi-billion-dollar money laundering network that moved funds for transnational drug dealers and terror groups including al-Qaeda and the Taliban, according to documents and allegations heard Thursday by a jury in Ottawa.

Khanani's Canadian agents, Toronto currency shop owners and real estate mortgage lenders, were believed by federal police to be massive money launderers in their own rights, the jury heard Thursday, with two of them — Salim Henareh and Farzam Mehdizadeh — transferring almost $700-million according to records leaked by Ortis to Khanani's network in 2015, before Mehdizadeh, who was on a CSIS watch list, escaped back to Iran, evading an RCMP criminal investigation.

While the jury has yet to hear this evidence, an email filed in court, and sent to Ortis by his RCMP analyst in early 2015, says Henareh's Toronto currency exchange handled a stunning $1.167 Billion in wire transfers from 2008 to 2014, in comparison to about $460-million handled by Mehdizadeh's currency shop.

Ortis, the former RCMP intelligence director, faces six charges, including four counts of violating the Security of Information Act.

The Crown is alleging Ortis leaked Fintrac records to Henareh in 2015, and planned to leak Five Eyes intel directly to Khanani, according to encrypted documents and email accounts captured from Ortis' electronic devices, which have so far, only been partially de-encrypted by RCMP analysts.
