Former Energy Minister Gonen Segev was arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran, it was cleared for publication Monday.
Segev was arrested by the Shin Bet and the Israel Police last month on suspicion of committing the offenses of assisting the enemy in a time of war and of spying against the State of Israel.

The indictment was approved by the Attorney General and the State Attorney.
Segev, who has previously been convicted of drug smuggling, forgery, and electronic commerce fraud, had lived in Nigeria in recent years. He arrived in Equatorial Guinea in May 2018. Segev was transferred to Israel at the request of the Israel Police, after Equatorial Guinea refused to allow him to enter its territory due to his criminal past.

Very hard to believe that he would have useful or current information for Iran but he probably maintained some contacts with people in the know. Very sad. This man is a veteran of the IDF and the Knesset. If indeed he is a traitor, it will be even more shocking to Israelis than when a trusted, veteran FBI agent turned out to be a Russian spy. Sadly both Israelis and Americans must come to learn that it is no longer possible to trust implicitly any given individual or institution.

Criminals love criminality. Thanks Eleutheria5.
No wonder this guy was a minister.
:^D
I tend to assume that he must be guilty of every crime under the sun, especially frauds, because he was living in Nigeria. I am a bit prejudiced.
