Ex-coalition whip questioned for 13th time in corruption probe
Likud lawmaker David Bitan was interrogated earlier today at the Lahav 433 anti-fraud police unit for the 13th time in a corruption probe, police say in a statement.
Bitan stepped down as coalition whip in December 2017, after it emerged that he was suspected of receiving bribes when he served as deputy mayor of Rishon Lezion and later as a member of Knesset.
