Senior employee at Dimona nuclear reactor suspected of corruption

Police investigators recently detained a senior employee at the Dimona nuclear reactor for questioning on corruption suspicions, according to a police statement.

The statement says that the questioning came at the end of a covert investigation into the man’s activities, which was carried out under the auspices of the Director of Security of the Defense Establishment.

Police said their investigation into the employee was no longer under wraps. However, a judge imposed a gag order prohibiting the publication of further details in the case.
