Charges to be filed against Likud MK Oren Hazan

Charges are to be filed against Likud MK Oren Hazan after he gave up his parliamentary immunity, Hadashot news reports.

Hazan, who has had frequent run-ins with the law, is to be charged with assaulting a public official over a 2014 fist fight with the mayor of the settlement of Ariel.

Hazan was reportedly upset after the city froze his bank account due to unpaid debts.
