Netanyahu to be questioned Friday in Bezeq graft probe

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is due to be questioned Friday in the Bezeq graft probe, Hadashot television news says.

Officers from the Israel Police’s national graft unit Lahav 433 are due to question the prime minister at his Jerusalem residence as part of the so-called “Case 4000” investigation.

Netanyahu is suspected of aiding Bezeq’s controlling shareholder, the businessman Shaul Elovitch, in regulatory decisions that favored Bezeq’s bottom line in exchange for favorable coverage in the Walla news site, which is also owned by Elovitch.

Friday’s questioning will be the 12th corruption interrogation the prime minister has undergone in three separate criminal graft probes. It will be the sixth questioning related to Case 4000.
