An Israeli court on Tuesday indicted two regular officers for spying and smuggling large quantities of drugs and tobacco from Egypt to Israel.

 

 

The Haifa District Court announced Ba'di Bisan, an operations officer and Abu Rouse, an Israeli Defense Force officer allegedly exchanged intelligence on IDF patrols as well as information on new anti-smuggling equipment positioned on the Israel-Egypt border.

The information allowed the two to smuggle large shipments of different drugs, mainly hashish and contraband cigarettes, Jerusalem Post reported.

In one instance, Bisan allegedly used an IDF jeep for smuggling. He released his driver, traveled to the Egyptian border and loaded the merchandise. Bisan had been on patrol at the time and had received reports on the drug exporters' whereabouts from the IDF.

In another incident, when the soldiers on duty spotted suspicious movement, Bisan reportedly told them they were imagining it, enabling drugs to be smuggled across the border.

Prosecutor Moshe Sada said there was substantial evidence supporting the charges.
