Israeli police arrested 21 individuals on Tuesday on suspicion of fraud, money laundering, and bribery, involving millions of shekels. The suspects include civilians working for contracting companies and career military personnel. The alleged fraud occurred during intense fighting in the Gaza Strip, when the IDF required heavy engineering equipment from civilian companies for its operations.
All detainees are being investigated by Lahav 433, a special investigations unit of the Israel Police. They will be brought before the Beersheba Magistrate's Court and the Military Court in Beit Lid for remand extensions later on Tuesday. The investigation is a joint effort between the IDF's Southern Command, Lahav 433, the Central Unit for Special Investigations of the Military Police, and the Beersheba VAT investigations unit of the Tax Authority.
