Israel's Supreme Court rejected Tuesday an appeal from businessman Nahum Manbar who was jailed for assisting Iran two years ago, reported the Jerusalem Post newspaper.
Manbar is serving a 16-year sentence for supplying the Iranians with raw materials that could be used in chemical warfare. The trial was held behind closed doors, said the paper.
According to the paper, Manbar claimed he had been encouraged by Israeli security services to establish ties with the Iranians -- Albawaba.com
