Investigating Military Police reveals former Tel Aviv Kirya base cook stole basic goods from kitchen on regular basis. Despite his voluntary release from army, Military Prosecution decides to indict him
Napoleon Bonaparte said, “An army marches on its stomach,” but what happens when the military cook’s family is hungry? The Military Prosecution filed an indictment against the person who once commanded over the cafeteria at the Kirya base in Tel Aviv for the crime of stealing food from the army.
The indictment reveals that the kitchen commander, a non-commissioned-officer with the rank of master sergeant, stole a slew of basic goods due to his difficult economic situation.

The Investigating Military Police probed the case and found products worth NIS 1,071 ($308) in his home.
The accused used to take 10 tomatoes and 10 cucumbers a week, a carton of eggs a month and cleaning solutions on a much less frequent basis.
In the middle of the investigation, the cafeteria at the Kirya base was placed in the hands of a private company and the NCO retired from his service in the IDF.
However, the Military Prosecution still decided to file an indictment against him. In the preliminary discussion on the subject, the NCO’s associates said that what he was not considered stealing but rather taking food as a result of economic difficulties.
“This is a troublesome case. This is a family in a difficult economic situation and the father just wanted to feed his three children,” said an associate.
Next month, the trial against the former career service cook is expected to begin.
The IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said in response that “an investigation was conducted against the NCO by the Investigating Military Police, and its findings were transferred for the perusal of the Military Prosecution’s perusal, which decided to file an indictment in his case.
"The bill of indictment ascribes the offenses of removing military property and disorderly conduct to the NCO who retired from the IDF at his own volition in his mid-life.”
