Israeli Prime Minister is being investigated over a case involving telecoms giant Bezeq
August 17, 2018 09:00Police were at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official residence on Friday to question him for the eleventh time on corruption allegations.
As two police cars arrived, protesters outside the entrance of the compound waved banners reading “crime minister” and chanted slogans calling for justice.
Israeli media said Mr Netanyahu would be questioned in connection to a case involving telecoms giant Bezeq and its majority shareholder Shaul Elovich, a friend of the Prime Minister.
The so-called Case 4000 concerns allegations the Communications Ministry leaked confidential information on the Prime Minister’s watch that helped Mr Elovich purchase companies at inflated prices.
