The Tax and Economics division at the Prosecutorâs Office announced Monday that it was closing the cases against Adv. David Shimron and former Navy Commander Maj. Gen. Eliezer Marom who were suspected in a corruption case that involved receiving bribes, money laundering, tax evasion and fraud.
The case, dubbed Case 3000, alleges that senior Israeli officials received bribes in exchange for their promotion of the acquisition of a Dolphin-class submarine for Israelâs navy from the German shipbuilder ThyssenKrupp.
