Elovitch’s wife remanded in custody until Monday

Iris Elovitch, wife of Bezeq chief shareholder Shaul Elovitch, has been remanded in custody until Monday.

Iris, along with her husband and the couple’s son Or, is suspected of involvement in bribery as part of Case 4000.

Police suspect Bezeq received regulatory benefits from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in exchange for Elovitch giving the premier and his family positive coverage on the Walla news site, which he also owns.

Earlier in the day Elovitch himself was also remanded in custody until Monday.
