Herzog suspected of campaign funding irregularities
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe allegations against Herzog relate to the 2013 primary elections in the Labor Party, during which he beat the sitting chairwoman, Shelly Yachimovich.
Although Herzog has a relatively positive reputation, this isn’t the first time he has faced suspicions relating to campaign funding.
He once memorably exercised his right to remain silent when he was investigated in 1999 as cabinet secretary, in connection with alleged campaign funding irregularities on the part of then-prime minister Ehud Barak.
