Former Scientist Accused of Leaking Docs | Montreal News
Description
A former federal scientist, Dennis Lu, faces serious charges including breach of trust and unauthorized computer use after allegedly copying over 2,000 work documents—possibly to China—during his final months at Natural Resources Canada. Fired the same week he was supposed to retire, Lu’s devices showed ties to Chinese entities, though no evidence proves he shared the data. His defense argues for workplace privacy and notes the unsecured shared drive, while prosecutors emphasize national security risks amid China’s cyber capabilities. Lu, who took a leave and traveled to China, was arrested upon returning and is now on bail with strict conditions. His trial begins in January in Ottawa.
