(Worthy News) – An Israeli man who worked as a house cleaner for Defense Minister Benny Gantz was arrested earlier this month for allegedly offering to spy on the minister on behalf of Iran, the Shin Bet security service said Thursday.
According to the Shin Bet, the man, Omri Goren, was arrested shortly after he contacted an Iran-linked hacking group, and before he could do any damage.
On Thursday, a Central District prosecutor filed an indictment against Goren, charging him with espionage, a crime that carries a sentence of 10 to 15 years. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
