2 suspects in submarine affair released to house arrest
Police say David Sharan and Tzachi Lieber, two of the suspects in Case 3000, the investigation into suspected corruption in the purchase of naval vessels from Germany, have been released to house arrest.
Sharan, a former bureau chief to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Energy Minister Yuval Steinitz, is reportedly suspected of taking bribes in exchange for promoting the purchase of submarines and other vessels in deals worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
Lieber, a political adviser, is suspected of conveying bribes from state witness Miki Ganor — who represented the German shipbuilder Thyssenkrupp.
