Israeli soccer player arrested after long covert investigation, police say more arrests may follow
Israeli police said they arrested an active player from a top-tier league club, setting off a new scandal in Israeli soccer on Sunday morning. The player is part of the roster of one of Israel’s biggest teams, according to the report.
N12 reported that the suspect was due to be brought at 2:00 p.m. for a remand hearing. A source in Lahav 433 said investigators had gathered “a cluster of evidence” pointing to especially serious conduct and added, “this is only the opening shot,” suggesting other people from the sports world could also be questioned.
According to N12, the investigation had been running for many months. During that time, investigators monitored the player’s activities for an extended period using technological means before deciding to arrest him and turn the probe into an open investigation. The police announcement and the new details were published on June 14, 2026.
