State witness in submarine case to be charged with tax evasion, not corruption

Miki Ganor, the businessman turned state’s witness in the so called “submarine affair,” will not be charged with corruption in the so-called “submarine affair.”

According to Channel 2, Ganor reached a deal with state prosecutors that will see him charged for various tax offenses, and will serve one year in jail.

Ganor, a former agent for the German submarine company ThyssenKryupp, last month signed a deal to turn state’s witness in what legal analysts described as major development in the corruption case that could lead to indictments of senior public officials.
