Israel Police are preparing a police prosecutor declaration - the step before an indictment - against a 27-year-old man from Tel Aviv who was arrested on June 22 on suspicion of carrying out assignments for a foreign agent - the Islamic Republic of Iran.
He was in contact with an Iranian agent for several months and, at their instruction, documented the homes of public officials and army bases and graffitied political messages in public spaces.
Authorities gathered from the investigation that he received thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency for his actions.
His arrest consistently extended
Since his arrest in June, it has been consistently extended at the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court. An indictment is expected in the next few days.
Around 25 such cases have been handled by authorities, with over 40 citizens serving indictments.
