The State Attorney’s Office files charges against a multinational software company and two of its executives for smuggling and money laundering, following an investigation into the firm.
The company, Ability Computer and Software Industries Ltd, is indicted in the Rishon Lezion Magistrate’s Court after reaching a plea agreement with state prosecutors.
The charges come after investigators in the Defense Ministry and Lahav 433 police major crimes unit conducted a probe into the company.
The firm is accused of smuggling some NIS 35 million ($12 million) worth of goods in violation of Israel’s Defense Export Control Law, as well as engaging in defense marketing without a license to do so.
One of the company executives suspected in the case is also charged with tax offenses, the State Attorney’s Office adds.
The details of the investigation and indictment are subject to a gag order.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
