MK Ofer Shelah (Yesh Atid), head of the State Supervisory Committee, has stated in advance of tomorrow's committee discussion that he plans to request that the State's comptroller launch an in-depth inquiry into what has come to be known as the "Submarine Affair."

"Tomorrow the committee will reach a decision on the matter of the purchase of ThyssenKrupp craft. There isn't just a suspicion of corruption here - it's also a question of dubious decision-making processes on sensitive security issues involving billions of shekels from Treasury coffers, which we will be discussing with senior security figures...

"We must not allow a situation to occur in which this affair sinks into the depths of political dispute," Shelah added.
