Court extends remand of suspect in submarine affair
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court extends the remand of Ronen Shamar, one of the suspects in “Case 3000,” in which police are investigating possible corruption and bribery involved in multi-billion shekel naval deals with German shipbuilding company ThyssenKrupp.
According to police, Shamar, who was detained earlier this week for questioning, will remain in custody until Sunday July 16.
Shamar is the right-hand man of Miki Ganor, ThyssenKrupp’s Israeli agent.
Along with six other suspects, Ganor and Shamar were questioned under caution for more than 12 hours on suspicions of fraud, bribery, tax evasion and money laundering, the Israel Police and the Tax Authority said in a joint statement earlier today.
