Officials announced today that charges of fraud by subcontractors at the Defense Ministry’s nuclear reactor at Dimona will be heard in Beersheba District Court soon. An exact date was not given.
The charges involve a Tel Aviv painting contractor who is suspected of stealing large quantities of paint, failing to do work specified in his contract, submitting false accounts and bribing Ministry officials. It was reported that several hundred thousand pounds were involved in the case. Four men went on trial last week on charges of fraud totaling 40,000 pounds ($14,000) in connection with electrical subcontracting at the reactor.
