The report says Vanunu — who was released from prison in 2004 after serving 18 years — is in hot water over an interview with Channel 2 on September 4, 2015, during which he allegedly discussed classified information.

The indictment also takes Vanunu to task for changing his place of residence without first informing police.

In addition, in another suspected violation of his parole terms, he hosted two foreign nationals in an East Jerusalem hotel, the report says.
