An investigation is underway by the National Fraud Investigations Unit (YAH) of Lahav 433 against a senior official at a state-owned company, suspected of multiple offenses including fraud, breach of trust, forgery, using forged documents, and submitting false affidavits. The official was detained for questioning on Thursday morning by unit officers. Simultaneously, searches were conducted at his home and office, during which documents and digital media were seized for examination as part of the investigation. Following his interrogation, the suspect was released under restrictive conditions.
The investigation was initiated following a referral from the Government Companies Authority, after questions arose regarding information provided by the official during his appointment process. He recently concluded his tenure at the state-owned company. Investigators suspect that the information submitted in his resume and during the appointment process, including details about past employment scope and financial sums managed, contained significant discrepancies compared to verified data. The police have not yet disclosed the name of the company or the full extent of the alleged offenses. The investigation by YAH is ongoing.
