Hefetz, Elovitch reportedly deleted incriminating texts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleNir Hefetz, the former spokesman for Prime Minister Netanyahu who is being held in connection with the Bezeq case, erased incriminating text messages from his phone, Channel 10 reports.
The messages allegedly linked the favorable coverage Netanyauh received on the Walla news site, owned by Tycoon Shaul Elovitch, to policies benefiting Bezeq, which Elovitch controls.
The texts were apparently exchanged between Hefetz and Elovitch, who also deleted the messages, Channel 10 said.
The implication is that the two men coordinated their versions of the events. Police are looking at possible obstruction of justice charges.
