Attorney general says Netanyahu graft investigation ‘almost finished’
Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit says the bribery investigation surrounding Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s dealings with Bezeq and Walla owner Shaul Elovitch, known by its police moniker “Case 4000,” is “almost finished.”
Speaking to students at Bar Ilan University, Mandelblit says the probe into an alleged quid pro quo in which Netanyahu is suspected of making regulatory decisions benefiting Elovitch in exchange for favorable coverage in the Walla news site is “my top priority.”
A decision over filing indictments in the case “will be made as quickly as possible, without sacrificing our professionalism,” Mandelblit says.
