Security firm sues ex-driver for allegedly recording Yair Netanyahu

Security firm Modiin Ezrachi sues a former employee for NIS 250,000 ($73,000) for allegedly secretly recording Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son Yair and his friends during a night out in Tel Aviv.

The suit alleges that Roi Rozen made the recording while working as Yair Netanyahu’s driver and later sold it to Hadashot TV news.

In January, the network released a recording of Yair Netanyahu and his friends during a night out at Tel Aviv strip clubs, in which Netanyahu could be heard making disparaging comments about women and telling the son of Israeli gas tycoon Kobi Maimon to “spot” him NIS 400, as the prime minister had approved a contested gas deal benefiting Maimon.
