Former Israeli Official Admits Spying for Iran; Gonen Segev Jailed for 11 Years for Espionage

Former Israeli Energy Minister and MK Gonen Segev today (January 9, 2019) confessed and was convicted as part of a plea bargain on serious espionage for Iran against the State of Israel, according to the Jewish Press website.

He will serve an 11-year prison sentence for spying for Iran for money during the past six years.

Despite Segev's cooperation with the State Attorney's Ofice, the Prosecution insisted on a double-digit sentence.

The state preferred a plea deal to avoid the exposure of intelligence methods and information in court.
