Alleged Spy Ordered Deported From Canada

An article in the Canadian Globe and Mail newspaper says that a suspected spy no longer contested the national security certificate labeling him as a threat to Canada.

The lawyers of the alleged spy, who used the Canadian alias of Paul William Hempel, said their client could not produce a single photograph or childhood friend that could help verify their client was indeed Canadian.

One of the lawyers told the court that the man, who's real identity is being withheld, is Russian and wished to return to Russia.

"Hempel" was arrested at Montreal's international airport on Nov. 14th carrying $7,800 in five different currencies, a short-wave radio, two digital cameras, two cell phones and five sim cards with phone information on them.
