Ex-Netanyahu confidant turns state’s witness in Bezeq graft probe

Police say Nir Hefetz, a former top adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, signed a deal Sunday to become a state’s witness in the Bezeq graft probe.

The police announcement confirms a report earlier Monday that Hefetz would become a state’s witness in the case, which involves suspicions Netanyahu advanced regulations benefiting Bezeq owner Shaul Elovitch in exchange for positive coverage on Bezeq’s Walla news site.
