Spying on the Russians? 'Arrested, questioned, deported but not beaten!'

"...Colonel Vadim Leiderman was arrested during a May 12 meeting in a restaurant, in what appeared to be a violation of his diplomatic immunity. He was then questioned for a few hours, released, and subsequently deported.... The unusual incident occurred during an official visit to Russia by the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, led by committee chairman and Kadima MK Shaul Mofaz... The incident wasn't the first time in which senior Israeli officials, specifically from the defense and intelligence establishment, were arrested under mysterious circumstances in Russia, in breach of their diplomatic immunity. In the early 1990s, Mossad representative Reuven Dinel was arrested in a Moscow subway station after he had purchased satellite images from a firm that was part of the Russian military intelligence.... It should be pointed out that Leiderman, unlike Dinel, was not beaten during his arrest and questioning."
