The Histadrut Labor Federation says it is cooperating with law enforcement authorities on an investigation into alleged corruption.

“We are confident in the innocence of our people and are cooperating with enforcement authorities,” says Histadrut spokesperson Yaniv Levy in a statement. “We cannot comment further on ongoing proceedings.”

Earlier today, police reportedly detained a number of senior officials in the Histadrut, the country’s main labor federation, including its chair, Arnon Bar-David.

“The Histadrut’s public activities continue to operate as usual, including all of the organization’s services throughout the country,” says Levy.
