Likud MK Bitan again grilled in bribery probe
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer coalition whip David Bitan is being interrogated at the Lod headquarters of Israel Police’s Lahav 433 national fraud unit in an investigation into suspected corruption in the Rishon Lezion and Tel Aviv municipalities.
Bitan has been summoned for police questioning regarding the investigation at least seven times.
The Likud lawmaker, who stepped down as coalition whip after the probe became public, but is still a Knesset member, is suspected of receiving hundreds of thousands of shekels in bribes, both while serving as deputy mayor of the coastal city of Rishon Lezion and as a member of parliament.
