Lapid calls sub affair 'a conspiracy of corruption'

Yesh Atid Chairman Yair Lapid calls the possible corruption and bribery case involving multi-billion shekel naval deals with German shipbuilding company, a “conspiracy of corruption.”

“This is without a doubt the biggest corruption scandal in the history of the country,” he tells Channel 2 in an interview. “Money from the defense budget was transferred to a secret bank account in Germany, and then transferred to [Netanyahu’s] lawyer’s private account without the defense minister knowing about it.”

“I don’t know how the prime minister didn’t know about it,” he adds. “This is a conspiracy of corruption.”

Lapid says he voluntarily testified to police in the so-called submarine affair earlier today.
