Communications Ministry chief embroiled in Netanyahu probes loses job

Shlomo Filber, the Communications Ministry director turned state’s witness in corruption probes of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is formally fired from his post at the ministry.

Filber has been suspended for months as police investigated his alleged part in the Case 4000 probe, in which Netanyahu is suspected to have pushed regulatory decisions favoring the Bezeq telecom giant in exchange for positive coverage of the prime minister in the popular Walla news site. Bezeq and Walla are both controlled by mogul Shaul Elovitch.
