Mr. Ari Harow, a former chief of staff for Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, was detained for questioning at Ben-Gurion International Airport on Thursday morning 8 Tammuz. Authorities wanted to question him in connection to an ongoing investigation addressing a $3 million business sale.
Harow stepped down from his role in the PM’s Office in January 2015. There are suspicions against him that in recent months he has not been honest regarding the sale of his consulting firm, 3H Global, publically stating the price was $3 million.
Harow served as the Prime Minister’s Bureau Chief from February 2009 to March 2010 and from 2013 to 2015 served as Chief of Staff. He is a former head of American Friends of Likud and was involved in fundraising and planning trips for Mr. Netanyahu and his family. In addition, he maintained a connection between the Prime Ministers and donors abroad and this appears to be part of an investigation into suspected money laundering and related white collar crimes with alleged involvement of the Prime Minister.

Are leftists ministers ever accused of anything?
It’s a witch hunt against Netanyahu. They investigated Harrow 7 month ago and found nothing. They keep cases like this open, so they can bring people back in and put pressure on them under threat. Pretty sickening.
