Interpol "arrests Egyptian businessman in Israel"

Reports in Egypt claim that Interpol, the international police body, has arrested the Egyptian businessman Hussein Salem in Israel. He has been wanted in his home country on charges of damaging Egyptian interests, including wasting public money for the benefit of others and selling Egypt’s natural gas to Israel below the contractual price and global market rates.
