Coalition whip to be interrogated under caution in bribery probe — report
Coalition chairman David Bitan of the Likud is set to be interrogated by police under caution in the coming days regarding suspicions of bribe-taking before he entered the Knesset, Hadashot news reports.
Last month, the Haaretz daily reported that the police was gathering evidence of wrongdoing by Bitan during his tenure as deputy mayor of Rishon Lezion from 2005 to 2015.
Bitan, who insisted he was innocent when the story broke, tells Hadashot news that he is unaware of the development.
Israel Police declined to comment on the report.
