Gish Employee Arrested for Allegedly Planting Listening Device in Local Council Head's Office
Police in northern Israel announced the arrest of a 65-year-old employee from the town of Gish on suspicion of installing a secret listening device in the office of the local council head. The arrest followed a report filed by a local authority in the north in recent weeks, raising suspicions about a bugged office.
A covert investigation by the Northern Region's Fraud Prevention Unit uncovered evidence that strengthened the suspicions. The investigation was made public on Thursday, when police raided the local council offices after a meeting concluded. They apprehended the suspect, finding evidence linking him to the incident.
Police stated their intention to seek an extension of the suspect's detention as the investigation continues. The suspect is reportedly a Gish resident and employee of the local council.
