Bezeq owner denies wrongdoing in latest Netanyahu graft scandal
Shaul Elovitch, the owner of the Walla news site and the controlling shareholder of the Bezeq communications company, denies the existence of a quid pro quo deal with Netanyahu that would have seen the prime minister granted positive media coverage.
“Shaul Elovitch categorically denies the suspicions against him,” a statement says. “We urge patience and not to rush to conclusions.”
“We are confident that when things become clear, it will be possible to see that no offense has been committed,” it says.
