Local Editor
"Israeli" police detained six suspects for questioning Monday morning as part of investigations into corruption surrounding the procurement of submarines from German conglomerate ThyssenKrupp.
The suspects have committed a series of crimes surrounding the deal, including bribery and money laundering.
One of the six suspects is considered a close associate of Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu-who is said to be involved with the scandal-while another suspect has been identified as Avriel Bar-Yosef, who served as head of the deputy director of the so-called "Israeli" Security Council.
"Israeli" police issued a statement Monday morning, saying, "As part of a joint investigation between the "Israel" Police, the Tax Authority and the Israel Money Laundering and Terror Financing Prohibition Authority, six suspects were detained for questioning on suspicion of bribery, fraud, money laundering and other tax offenses related to all matters concerning the procurement of defense equipment.
"At the time of the events in question, some of the suspects involved were civil, while others were involved in the private sector. The investigation is being conducted by Lahav 433's National Financial Investigations Unit under the supervision of the State Attorney."
