IDF captain gets 9 years for stealing weapons, selling to organized crime
An IDF captain is sentenced to nine years in prison by a military court and is given a fine of NIS 30,000 for stealing and selling military equipment, the army says.
Shadi Bashir is also demoted to the rank of private.
In April 2016, Bashir, allegedly working with another soldier, stole shoulder-launched missiles and other weapons from an IDF armory and sold them to criminal organizations.
Bashir pleaded guilty to his crimes under a plea deal. The other soldier’s trial is ongoing.
