JERUSALEM, Jan 9, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – An Israeli ex-minister charged with
spying for the country’s arch-foe Iran has reached a plea bargain with
prosecutors that will see him serve 11 years in prison, the justice ministry
said Wednesday.
As part of the agreement, Gonen Segev will plead guilty to serious
espionage and transfer of information to the enemy, the ministry said.
