AG: Ex-defense minister will stand trial for graft

Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein says former Labor Party defense minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer will stand trial for corruption.

Ben-Eliezer, who was the oldest MK until his retirement in 2014, faces charges for tax offenses, fraud and breach of trust, Army Radio reports.

In 2014, police conducted a six-month investigation into allegations that Ben-Eliezer accepted funds from businessmen for unspecified financial favors in 2006, when he served as national infrastructure minister.
