Interrogation of Likud MK put off over Shabbat bill vote
Police delay an interrogation of David Bitan scheduled for Tuesday after the Likud lawmaker requested it be put off so he could attend the final plenum votes on a bill that prevents minimarkets from opening on Shabbat.
It would’ve been the fifth time police question Bitan. He is suspected of having taken loans from a crime family when he served as deputy mayor of Rishon Lezion and, when he was unable to repay them, offering favors in exchange for forgiveness of the loans.
