Ex-coalition whip faces 5th round of questioning in graft probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer coalition whip David Bitan has been summoned to his fifth round of police questioning on Sunday as part of the ongoing corruption probe on suspicion of bribery, fraud, money laundering, and breach of trust.
Bitan is under investigation for allegedly accepting more than NIS 500,000 ($145,000) in bribes from businessmen while serving as deputy mayor of the coastal city of Rishon Lezion.
Last week, Haaretz reported the police investigation into Bitan was boosted by a “major development” that is likely to spell more trouble for Bitan.
