Seems that the soldier accused of deserting the Canadian Forces a few months ago has been charged by the National Investigative Service, after all.
Bravo, tetes de viande!
He's been charged with desertion, absenting himself without permission (that's a back-up in case they can't get desertion), and with theft of government property, namely the laptop with which he absconded.
The news release itself is a little sparse and of course, since the DND site redesign, anyone wanting to find DND news releases has to hunt around for them.
Oh yes, and contrary to the release, the JAG website doesn't have any details of the charges. In fact the court martial calendar that used to be published in the DND site seems to have disappeared entirely.
And for some bizarre reason, the NIS haven't charged the running man with the standard Section 129 charge. That's conduct prejudicial to the good order and discipline of the Canadian Forces.
If all else fails, that one might work.
