Additional Arrests Made In IDF Corruption Investigation


Following the arrest of twelve suspects in an ongoing probe into alleged fictitious billing of the IDF, netting millions, authorities on Wednesday 28 Tishrei arrested additional suspects.

An air force captain and NCO were taken into custody in connection with the billing scheme, in which the military was billed for work never performed. All the suspects in the case have been arraigned and remanded.

As reported earlier, two officers were arrested along with employees of a civilian company which provided services to the IDF. Channel 2 News reports one of the suspects is a relative of IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-General Gadi Eizenkott.

Members of Eizenkott’s staff responded to the report, explaining he has no connection with the relative, with whom he last communicated with at a family function eight months ago.

Israel Police Lahav 433 unit continues the investigation.
