Alberta RCMP Officer Charged with National Security Breach

Constable Eli Ndatuje faces charges for allegedly leaking sensitive information to the Rwandan government, marking a significant breach of trust.

Constable Eli Ndatuje, stationed in Alberta, has been charged with breach of trust, unauthorized use of a computer, and breach of trust with respect to safeguarded information under Canada's Security of Information Act.
The charges stem from Ndatuje allegedly sharing protected police information from the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) system with the Rwandan government.
Ndatuje's arrest by the RCMP's integrated national security enforcement team highlights ongoing efforts to combat foreign actor interference in Canada.
This case is part of a broader concern over foreign countries' influence in Canadian government institutions, with recent charges against other RCMP members under the Security of Information Act.
Ndatuje has been released with conditions, including surrendering his passport and staying in Alberta, as the investigation continues.
