Jerusalem official questioned in Deri graft probe identified as former PMO director

One of the 14 people being questioned today in the graft probe of Interior Minister Aryeh Deri is former Prime Minister’s Office director general Moshe Lion.

Lion, a businessman who now holds a seat on the Jerusalem City Council, insists he is not a suspect in the case, but is being questioned on a specific matter involving Deri.

Deri and his wife Yaffa are being questioned this morning at the Lod headquarters of the Israel Police’s National Serious Crimes Unit.
