Ex-Israeli Minister Arrested for Allegedly Spying for Iran

A former Israeli Minister of Energy, Gonen Segev, has reportedly admitted contacts with Iran after being arrested in a suspected spying operation, local reports in Israel said.

Segev lived in Nigeria on a self-imposed exile after completing jail sentence for drugs offenses in Israel in 2010.

He worked as a medical official for Israeli diplomats and other Jewish expatriates around Abuja.

He was arrested in Equatorial Guinea last month and was extradited to Israel where he has now been charged with spying for Iran, reports said.

It was not immediately clear if Nigeria played any role in his investigation and arrest.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defence Headquarters both declined comments to PREMIUM TIMES about the development for the most part of yesterday.

Segev was reportedly lured to the Iranian Embassy in Abuja in 2012 under the guise of treating the children of its diplomatic staff, Israel’s Channel 10 news reported.

By taking up assignment with Iranians, Gonen was reportedly hoping to mislead them and ultimately restore his reputation that was tarnished by his jail sentence, Channel 10 said.

“I wanted to fool the Iranians and come back to Israel a hero,” he was quoted as saying during his interrogation. a solution.
