Bat Yam man accused of doing work for Iranian intelligence
Prosecutors are planning to charge a man from Bat Yam with security offenses after he allegedly carried out tasks for Iranian intelligence agents.
An indictment against the suspect is expected in the coming days, the Shin Bet and police say in a brief statement, amid renewed hostilities with Iran.
The suspect, a man in his 30s, is accused of maintaining online contact with an Iranian agent from the start of the year until his arrest in May. The agencies say the suspect agreed to carry out security-related tasks at the agent’s behest in exchange for money.
The investigation into the alleged offenses was conducted jointly by the Shin Bet and police in the Ayalon Precinct crime-fighting unit.
