Former MK detained over bribery suspicions

Police announce they have brought a former MK in for questioning as part of a probe into suspicions he took bribes, including sex, from a businessman.

Police do not name the former MK.

A statement says he is being investigated under caution, which means he may be held in custody pending charges.

“The national police detained for questioning this morning a former Knesset member, over suspicions that while serving he received bribes from a businessman, including favors of a sexual nature, in return for pushing through issues related to his business interests,” a police statement reads.
