Four Case 4000 suspects released to house arrest

The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court releases four of the seven suspects held in a high-profile corruption case involving Prime Minister Netanyahu’s confidants.

The development leaves two Netanyahu aides — Nir Hefetz, the premier’s former media adviser, and Communications Ministry director Shlomo Filber — and media tycoon Shaul Elovitch in jail.

The suspects released to house arrest today are Elovitch’s wife, Iris; his son, Or; Bezeq CEO Stella Handler; and Bezeq’s deputy CEO for business development, Amikam Shorer.
