Police tell the Rishon Letzion Magistrate’s court that Jonatan Urich, an aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is suspected of passing secret information to a foreign agent.
Police are requesting that the court extend the remand of Urich and fellow Netanyahu aide Elie Feldstein by nine days in the Qatargate probe.
Police have already accused the two of suspicion of contacting a foreign agent, fraud, money laundering and bribery.
The Ynet news site says that Urich passed on the unspecified information to Qatari lobbyist Jay Footlik.
