Israel prende cidadão americano acusado de espionagem para o Irã

Um homem americano na casa dos 20 anos foi preso em Israel em 9 de junho de 2026, por suposta espionagem em nome da inteligência iraniana. As autoridades israelenses anunciaram a prisão na terça-feira após concluírem sua investigação.

O suspeito foi detido após uma operação conjunta da Polícia de Israel e do serviço de segurança Shin Bet. Suas tarefas supostamente envolviam fotografar locais sensíveis em troca de pequenos pagamentos.

A investigação foi conduzida sob uma ordem de sigilo rigorosa. Um tribunal de Jerusalém estendeu a detenção do homem várias vezes antes que os promotores apresentassem uma declaração formal contra ele.

Uma acusação formal é esperada para os próximos dias. Os promotores planejam solicitar a manutenção da custódia até o fim dos procedimentos.

O inspetor-chefe Amichai Panta, da unidade central do Distrito de Jerusalém, observou que vários casos recentes de espionagem envolveram assistência ao inimigo durante o período de guerra.

Federal prosecutors say Shamim Mafi, a 44-year-old Iranian national and lawful U.S. permanent resident, was arrested on April 19, 2026, at Los Angeles International Airport as she prepared to fly abroad. Authorities allege she helped broker sales of Iranian-made military equipment—including drones, bomb components and large quantities of ammunition—linked to Sudan’s military, in a scheme prosecutors say was designed to evade U.S. sanctions.

Authorities have foiled a terror plot aimed at Jewish institutions across New York, California and Arizona. An Iraqi suspect linked to the scheme is now in custody.
