«Israel’s» Submarine Affair: Ex-Senior Bibi Official, Ex-Navy Chief Detained for Questioning

Local Editor

"Israel" Police detained questioning six suspects in "Israel's" ongoing "submarine affair" on Sunday, among them a former senior official in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bureau and former navy chief Eliezer Marom.

Also detained include a former navy brigadier general and a media adviser. The apartheid entity's police searched the suspects' homes and offices, as well.

"Israel's" General Attorney's Office is expected to submit its response to a petition demanding the opening of a criminal investigation into Netanyahu later on Sunday.

Also known as the "Submarine Affair," the scandal involves allegations of bribery in a more-than-billion-dollar submarine deal between "Israel" and Germany.

According to Haaretz, Bibi is not a suspect in this case, but his personal lawyer, adviser and cousin is.
ThyssenKrupp, the German shipbuilder, is represented in "Israel" by Michael Ganor, the key suspect in the affair.

Alleged to have bribed high-ranking military officials to advance the deal, Ganor signed an agreement in July to turn "Israel's" evidence in the case.

In exchange for testifying against other suspects, he will serve one year in prison and be fined 10 million shekels [$2.8 million]. David Shimron, Netanyahu's personal lawyer, adviser and cousin, also served as Ganor's attorney.
