Police reveal massive defense agency bribery scheme
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe elite Lahav 433 anti-fraud unit of the Israel Police says that seven people were arrested ten months ago, in December 2016, on suspicion of masterminding a massive bribery and graft scheme in an Israeli defense agency.
A court gag order is lifted on Tuesday on the case, allowing police to reveal details of the case.
According to a police statement, three of the seven suspects are current or past employees of an Israeli defense agency. The three are suspected of accepting “massive” bribes to tilt tenders in favor of civilian companies represented by the four other suspects.
The suspects spent many weeks under arrest, and are now free with court-imposed limitations.
