An Israeli ex-bank robber who was employed as a cleaner and handyman in Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s private home, has been charged with espionage after allegedly attempting to sell information to Iranian-linked hackers.
Omri Goren was arrested earlier this month by the Israeli Security Agency (ISA) — also known as the Shin Bet — and the Israeli police just days after it was found that he allegedly used a social network to contact an Iran-linked hacking group. The suspect has been working in Gantz’s home for about two years despite his criminal record.
