Police announce they have completed their criminal investigation into Social Equality Minister May Golan and transferred the case to the State Attorney’s Office for potential prosecution.
The Likud politician is suspected of creating fictitious jobs in her ministry for relatives of friends and influential colleagues, who did no actual work despite being paid a government salary.
Investigators in the Lahav 433 major crimes unit led the probe against Golan, who is suspected of bribery, fraud and breach of trust for the alleged job-fixing.
Law enforcement went public with the investigation in September last year after a months-long covert investigation.
After reviewing police’s findings in the probe, state prosecutors will come to a decision on whether to file charges against the minister.
