Lahav 433 investigators raided Israel’s Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem Wednesday morning, seizing materials and documents in a fraudulent diplomatic passport scheme, Israel Police reported.
The raid was part of an undercover investigation opened in the previous weeks.
The materials were seized on suspicion that diplomatic passports were issued to individuals who were not eligible to receive them, the police added.
The police noted that the seized documents will aid the continuation of the ongoing investigation.
Those who illegally received the passports reportedly did not pass the prerequisite tests.
Yair Netanyahu a recipient of an illegal diplomatic passport?
Maariv had previously reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s son, Yair Netanyahu, was allegedly a recipient of one of the unlawfully issued diplomatic passports.
Additionally, the passports were reportedly issued before the tenure of the current Foreign Minister, Israel Katz, when Eli Cohen held the position.
