Overview
- Police disclosed Einhorn’s fugitive status during a Rishon L’Tzion Magistrate’s Court hearing as they sought to extend restrictions on fellow suspect Yonatan Urich.
- Einhorn resides in Serbia, was questioned there last year through a judicial inquiry, and has not returned to Israel since the investigation began.
- Investigators said the Perception consulting firm is under Einhorn’s exclusive control and asked the court to keep Urich barred from contacting Einhorn, Perception, or leaving the country.
- The arrest warrant ties to the 2024 Bild leak of classified Israeli military materials and to separate Qatargate influence allegations reported in recent filings.
- The move follows the detention of senior aide Tzachi Braverman, who was interrogated for 13 hours, with him and PMO spokesperson Omar Mantzur appealing release conditions ahead of a Wednesday hearing.
