An Israeli citizen has been charged with providing information to benefit the Iranian enemy. No information has been provided on the man’s identity, other than his name: Mauricio Segal.

Arrested nearly a month ago, the Tel Aviv Prosecutor's Office filed the indictment against him on Thursday. The charges include the following: contact with a foreign agent, giving information for enemy benefit, and misusing his passport.

Segal allegedly told his Shabak (Israel Security Agency) interrogators that during a visit to Argentina in 2006, he made contact on several occasions with an Iranian diplomat in the Iranian Embassy in Buenos Aires.

On those occasions, Segal offered to cooperate with Iranian Intelligence, in return for monetary compensation.  He gave his Iranian contact a copy of his Israeli passport and identity card, after erasing his own personal details from the documents. He also offered to provide other Israeli documentation.

No further information was released to the media on the case.
