Police arrest blogger suspected of harassing a witness in Case 3000

Police have arrested a blogger suspected of harassing a witness in Case 3000, also known as the “submarine case.”

Police say the man, an “independent journalist,” was arrested this morning. Another woman was detained. They are suspected of breach of privacy, witness harassment, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

The plaintiff is a public servant who “served in the past in a senior position in a government ministry,” police say.

“According to her account, an anonymous man who arrived at her home…impersonated a worker in an intelligence body,” they say. He went on to show her what he claimed was an upcoming media report, “in order to get what he desired out of her.”

Authorities did not provide further details on the case.
