Four years after a probe was first launched, state prosecutors filed indictments Monday against suspects in a sprawling alleged corruption scandal involving the purchase of navy vessels worth hundreds of millions of dollars from a German shipbuilder.
Alongside the indictments, cases were closed against David Shimron, cousin and former personal lawyer to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as former commander of the Israeli Navy Eliezer Marom, after prosecutors accepted their defenses at their respective pre-indictment hearings.

Israel’s district attorney for taxation and economics indicted on Monday several former officials and executives in the so-called submarine affair, a multimillion dollar submarine deal with German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp, which police looked into possible wrongdoing involving the shipbuilder s local representative.
The indictment states that Thyssenkrupp had paid its representative about ten million euros as a commission for deals signed between Israel and ThyssenKrupp. The representative is charged with violating the money laundering law as well as tax evasions.
