CAF officer arrested on foreign interference allegation released into custody
Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar faces charges under the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act after a joint military police and RCMP probe, court martial pending.
- Dec. 10, 2025: Master Warrant Officer Matthew Robar, of the Canadian Forces Intelligence Command, was released after a Gatineau hearing while facing charges under the Foreign Interference and Security of Information Act.
- On Oct. 24 Robar was arrested and released on conditions the next day, then re-arrested on Dec. 10 when Canadian Forces Military Police announced charges and held him for days.
- After a disciplinary probe last year that led to a reprimand, Robar filed a grievance, and a government media release said the arrest stemmed from a 2024 joint military police–RCMP investigation into unauthorized disclosure of safeguarded information to a foreign entity.
- None of the allegations have been proven, and the case could take weeks or months; Fowler said, `I find it remarkable that the military police... sees no problem with identifying my client by name.`
- The case is shrouded in secrecy, with few details released publicly, and this is Robar’s second detention this year, raising questions about the military justice system and oversight.
