MK’s name to be kept under gag until tomorrow
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA statement from the police says that the magistrate hearing the case of the MK suspected of taking bribes and sexual favors has rejected a request to keep his name under gag order.
However, the gag will only be lifted Thursday afternoon, to give the lawmaker a chance to appeal.
The statement also says the MK was ordered to remain behind bars for five days, and not four, as previously reported.
Police say the investigation is partially the fruit of a piece broadcast by investigative news magazine Uvda.
