Bath Yam resident to be charged with spying for Iran in exchange for payment
A resident of Bat Yam in his 30s was arrested last month on suspicion of committing serious security offenses and maintaining contact with Iranian intelligence operatives, the police and Shin Bet said Monday morning. A severe indictment is expected to be filed against the suspect.
During the investigation, suspicion strengthened that in the months before his arrest he was in contact with foreign intelligence agents and carried out various security-related tasks for them. The investigation found that at the end of last year, contact was established between the suspect and an Iranian operative through a social network, and he agreed to carry out various tasks in exchange for payment.
"The Israel Police and the Shin Bet again warn the citizens and residents of the State of Israel against maintaining contact with foreign agents and carrying out tasks for them," the statement said. "These actions constitute a serious offense under the law and endanger the security of the state."
