The Israel Police's Lahav 433 unit, along with the Ministry of Defense's Security Export Control Division, has filed an indictment against Avility Computer & Software Industries Ltd. and two executives for aggravated smuggling worth approximately 35 million shekels. The charges are based on violations of the Defense Export Control Law and conducting defense marketing without a license.
The indictment alleges that between 2022 and 2024, the company systematically exported controlled defense items without the required licenses, circumventing export restrictions. According to the charges, the smuggling was carried out through a series of transactions that concealed the true nature of the goods. One of the executives also faces a tax offense, and the company is additionally charged with money laundering under Section 4 of the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law.
This case is a significant enforcement action by the police's Lahav 433 unit and the Defense Export Control Division. The investigation was conducted jointly by Lahav 433 and the Ministry of Defense's Security Export Control Division. No prior Zioneer reporting on this specific case is available.
