Graft probe into top MK widens as new suspicions uncovered
Police sources reveal Tuesday that the corruption investigation into former coalition whip MK David Bitan has expanded to include previously unreported suspicions of bribery while he served as a top official in the Rishon Lezion municipality.
The new suspicions, apparently first revealed in testimony Tuesday by a key witness in the case, Rishon Lezion developer and furniture store owner Moshe Yosef, mean Bitan is now suspected of accepting as much as NIS 5 million in alleged bribes, according to Channel 10 television news.
