Business community was shocked by the largest case of industrial espionage that involved several arrests of top executives at some of Israel's biggest companies, including the Yes satellite TV company, Mayer Cars & Trucks, the Pelephone Communications and Cellcom cellular networks. Israel and London police, FBI and Interpol suspects them of involvement in spying on competitors. A total of 18 people have been detained, including nine private investigators.
An interesting detail of the case is that Bezeq, parent company of Pelephone and Yes, has revealed that it too is apparently among the victims. Secret Bezeq documents were also found at rival companies. The officials were asked to identify the documents and estimate the damage done to Bezeq itself.
