(Greece) Prosecution Witness in Netanyahu’s Corruption Trial Killed

September 14, 2021, Greece- "Prosecution witness in Netanyahu’s corruption trial killed as his plane crashes in Greece. Former senior Israeli official Haim Geron has been killed in a plane crash near the Greek island of Samos. Geron was among the witnesses in the ongoing corruption trial of ex-PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The light plane, carrying Geron and his wife Esther, crashed into the sea close to the Samos airport late on Monday. The former official, who used to serve as the deputy director-general for engineering and licensing at the Israeli Communications Ministry, and his wife, both 69, were the only occupants on the aircraft. The bodies of the victims were recovered several hours after the crash by the Greek coast guard, which searched the area with boats and divers. “We recovered two bodies from the spot,” a coast guard official told Reuters. “The aircraft crashed about a mile south from the airport,” another official added."

"The Greek Air Accident Investigation and Aviation Board launched a probe into the cause of the crash on Tuesday. The board said communication with Geron’s plane was lost shortly before it was expected to land at the Samos airport. Multiple explosions were reportedly heard in the area at the time of the crash. “A local fisherman said there was a big explosion, followed by a smaller one,” chief of the board, Ioannis Kondylis, told AFP."
