Anonymous tip led RCMP to doorstep of Montreal couple on trial on terror charges
MONTREAL — An anonymous tip led the RCMP national security team to the doorstep of a young Montreal couple now on trial on terrorism-related charges, a jury heard Wednesday.
The investigator who led the case was the first witness to take the stand at the trial of El Mahdi Jamali and Sabrine Djermane.
They each face four charges: attempting to leave Canada to commit a terror act abroad; possession of an explosive substance; facilitating a terrorist act; and committing an act under the direction or for the profit of a terrorist organization.
Jamali, 20, and Djermane, 21, pleaded not guilty in front of the 12 jurors who will hear their estimated 10-week trial.
