Military Judicial Council of Lebanon has arrested the spy Ali Tawfiq Yaghi on charges of collaborating with the Zionist enemy, security forces revealed to Al-Manar TV.

Dubbed as the highest paid spy to date, Yaghi was said to have received $600,000 for his loyalty to the Jewish state.

The Lebanese agent, a former member of the Baalbek City Council and former employee of Lebanese Public Works Ministry, began working for the Mossad in 1990, and had undergone intelligence training on how to use invisible ink, encrypted radio devices and other modern means of communication.

He also visited the occupied territories more than once including Tel Aviv, using a fake Palestinian passport. He also travelled to Asian and European states to meet his Zionist operators there.

Yaghi has confessed to his crime stating that he passed to the Zionist entity intelligence on the Lebanese Army and Resistance bunkers, as well as names of Hezbollah and Amal officials and members, along with information on Hezbollah communication network.

The significant role Yaghi played during July 2006 war on Lebanon prompted the Zionist Mossad to hold a ceremony in his honor.

The spy was using the cover of being a City Council member to conceal his espionage. He was also used to complain all the time of his poor living conditions.

Lebanese Army intelligence has investigated with Yaghi and the military investigating judge, Imad Zein, has issued a warrant against him based on articles which carry the death penalty.
