The trial of a former RCMP officer accused of a security offence in relation to his alleged work for the Chinese government has been abruptly adjourned as prosecutors closed their case, catching defence lawyers by surprise.

William Majcher pleaded not guilty to one count of committing “preparatory acts” for an offence under Canada’s Security of Information Act as the trial got underway Monday in Vancouver.
