Collusion by top government official alleged in Bezeq corruption probe
Channel 2 reveals a dramatic development in the Bezeq corruption probe. The Israel Securities Authority now suspects that Communications Ministry Director General Shlomo Filber, who was sent to house arrest today, regularly coordinated policy decisions with Bezeq’s chief shareholder Shaul Elovitz.
Filber allegedly sent Elovitz internal policy documents that could affect the latter’s business interests, and then received edited version of the documents prepared by Elovitz’s staff, Channel 2 says.
