Montreal police officer leaks confidential information

A retired Montreal police officer is being accused of leaking names of informants to the mafia. 

According to CBC, police found out about the leak through a wiretap investigation in April 2011, and the officer was arrested in October 2011.

Radio-Canada says that the officer tried to sell the information to the mafia for a six-figure sum.

A few names were leaked, but Montreal Police chief Marc Parent says that the sources are not at risk.
