An Alberta RCMP officer was found not guilty of using a police database to assist Rwanda in a case that involved a major investigation. Const. Eli Ndatuje, 39, was arrested as part of Operation Salt Mine, an extensive RCMP probe. The charges against him were dismissed following a court ruling. The case drew significant attention due to the alleged misuse of police resources for foreign intelligence purposes. Ndatuje had been under surveillance for months before his arrest. The court determined there was insufficient evidence to prove wrongdoing. The RCMP has not commented on the outcome of the case. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about data security and the use of police databases. The case remains under review by internal RCMP authorities.
