Baku-APA. Egypt detained on Saturday a man for spying for Israeli Mossad, APA reports state-run Al-Ahram news website.
The Egyptian State Security Prosecution decided to detain the man for 15 days over charges of working for the Israeli Mossad since 2011.
The prosecution said the defendant, an employee for a private company, realized earlier that his link to Mossad had been monitored, so he "confessed" to the Egyptian intelligence in early 2012, hoping that Egyptian authorities would drop charges against him.
The "fake report," as described by the prosecution, did not work as the Egyptian side kept an eye on the suspect and monitored his movements among Arab and Western countries during 2012 and 2013 until the evidence for conviction was completed.
The man was arrested with surveillance devices and other equipment for communication with the Israeli intelligence apparatus.
On April 21, Egypt unveiled a spy network of Israel based in North Sinai's Rafah city, northeast of the capital Cairo.
The police arrested the main defendant who uncovered other members working for the Israeli Mossad.
