(IsraelNN.com) An IDF Second Lieutenant serving in a trackers unit was sentenced to six years in prison on Sunday for selling stolen weapons to an undercover policeman.  The soldier agreed to sell 21 stun grenades for NIS 5,800 and a Negev machine gun for NIS 27,000.  The gun was stolen from a fellow soldier as he slept on base.

A judge ruled that the defendant did not sell weapons for nationalist reasons, but said his crime was very serious nonetheless, due in particular to his rank.  In addition to the six-year prison sentence, he will be demoted to the rank of private.
