Surprise hits Beit Shemesh as chassid detained for suspected espionage on behalf of Iran.
A 24-year-old chassidic avreich residing in Ramat Beit Shemesh Daled was taken into custody late Wednesday night on suspicion of participating in a severe espionage situation related to Iran.
Based on what the neighbours said, a significant amount of police officers stormed into his house on Thursday morning, apprehending him and bringing him in for questioning.
He appeared in court on Thursday afternoon for a prolongation of his detainment.
The neighbours, who were stunned, told Chareidi news sources that they believe there must be a misunderstanding because the suspect is a respected avreich from a prominent family. One resident informed Chareidim10 that the chassid is skilled in computer technology and may have been employed by an individual connected to Iran without being aware of it.
