Ex-coalition whip interrogated for 12th time in bribery probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleLikud MK David Bitan is being questioned by police as part of an ongoing investigation into suspicions he accepted hundreds of thousands of shekels in bribes, some of which he allegedly received after becoming a member of Knesset.
It is Bitan’s 12th interrogation by Lahav 433 national fraud unit investigators in relation to the case.
In April, Hadashot reported that police were planning to recommend indicting him.
Bitan — who stepped down as coalition whip after it was revealed he was being investigated, but remains a member of Knesset — is also likely to be charged with money laundering and tax offenses, the report said.
