Israel's Lahav 433 unit has arrested a state employee and contractors on suspicion of bribery in exchange for lax oversight. Investigators allege the state employee colluded with contractors who employed foreign workers from Turkey, present in Israel illegally. These contractors allegedly paid the state employee bribes to ignore the illegal employment of foreign nationals at their construction sites, with some of the funds reportedly coming from the workers themselves. Furthermore, suspicions have arisen that the contractors were involved in smuggling these foreign workers into Israel via Jordan for a fee. In total, three individuals were arrested and two others detained in the operation.
