Israeli police said Thursday at the conclusion of a long-running corruption probe that there was evidence a lawyer for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu committed crimes.

Referring to David Shimron, a relative of Netanyahu and his family lawyer, "there is evidence that he committed bribery offences and money laundering" in connection with Israel's purchase of German submarines, police said in a statement.

The statement said a former chief of Netanyahu's office, David Sharan, is also suspected of bribery.
