HALIFAX – A former Halifax navy intelligence officer pleaded guilty today to all the espionage charges he was facing.
Defence lawyer Mike Taylor told a provincial court judge in Halifax that Sub-Lt. Jeffrey Paul Delisle was pleading guilty to the three charges he faced and was giving up his right to a trial.
Delisle was charged with breach of trust and two charges of passing information to a foreign entity that could harm Canada’s interests.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled to begin in his trial today.
Delisle, 41, was denied bail in March and has been in custody at the Central Nova Scotia Correctional Facility in Halifax since his arrest in January.
