Jeffrey Delisle

Who is Jeffrey Delisle?

Jeffrey Paul Delisle is a former Sub-Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Navy who passed sensitive information from the top-secret Stone Ghost intelligence sharing network to the Russian spy agency GRU. Delisle's actions have been described as “exceptionally grave” by Canada's Department of National Defence and “severe and irreparable” by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

At court in October 2012 Delisle pleaded guilty to breach of trust and two counts of passing secret information to a foreign entity, contrary to the Security of Information Act. He was sentenced to 20 years in penitentiary, minus time served, by the Chief Judge of the Provincial Court of Nova Scotia on February 8, 2013. He is expected to be dismissed from the Canadian Forces after all judicial proceeding is concluded.
