Israeli police to question Vucic advisor in Belgrade

Investigators from the Lahav 433 major crimes unit will question Yisrael Einhorn, a former senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Times of Israel said and added that Einhorn has been living in Belgrade over the past year, working as an adviser to Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic. He has not returned to Israel since a probe was opened last year into an intelligence leak.

“Einhorn, along with the prime minister’s former aide, Jonatan Urich, and ex-spokesman Eli Feldstein, is a key suspect in the intelligence leak case, which involves the theft of classified IDF documents and the leaking of one of them to the German daily, Bild,” the daily said.

It said that the 3 men also all suspects in the Qatargate probe. Investigators want to question Einhorn over his PR work for Qatar through his public relations firm, Perception, which he ran with Urich.

Einhorn tried but failed to negotiate a deal with the State Attorney’s Office to return to Israel to testify without being arrested. The daily said he asked to be questioned in Serbia.
