Netanyahu’s personal lawyer, David Shimron, is being released from house arrest after being questioned in the corruption investigation into a multi-million dollar purchase of submarines from Germany.
According to reports, Shimron is preparing to travel abroad for a vacation.
Shimron is one of six associates close to Netanyahu that are suspected of attempting to sway the deals in favor of the German shipbuilder ThyssenKryupp.
