In a surprising turn of events, a man from Rishon Letzion has been charged with serious offenses related to national security. The charges include communicating with a foreign agent and sharing information with an enemy state. The prosecution has asked the court to keep the man in custody until the legal process is over.

The man, identified as Dennis Lyakhov, was contacted by an Iranian agent through the messaging app Telegram. The agent gave him tasks to complete in exchange for money. One of these tasks involved going to Petah Tikva, filming a specific street and buildings, and sending the footage back to the agent. However, Lyakhov made a mistake and filmed the wrong location. Despite this, he still received payment for his efforts.

Another task involved visiting a car dealership in Netanya. The agent wanted Lyakhov to inquire about the prices of seven different vehicles and record the process on video. Interestingly, the agent sent Lyakhov money for this task, but he did not complete it.

The indictment mentions that some of these actions took place while Lyakhov was in Israel, and others occurred while he was living in Latvia. This raises questions about the extent of his involvement and the nature of his relationship with the Iranian agent.

It is important to note that the charges against Lyakhov are serious and could have significant consequences. The case highlights the potential risks of engaging with foreign agents and the importance of national security measures.
