Jailed spy granted escorted leaves for church, banking: parole board
HALIFAX — Convicted spy Jeffrey Delisle has already been allowed to take escorted leaves from prison, according to a parole board ruling that offers more details about why he sold secrets to the Russians.
A Parole Board of Canada ruling this week granted day parole at a halfway house to the former junior officer, possibly as early as next month.
But it also said that Delisle has been a “model inmate” since being sentenced in 2013 to 20 years in prison, and that he had previously been granted 24 escorted absences to attend church.
He had also been granted temporary leaves to renew his driver’s licence and open a bank account.
