Police investigating President Rivlin

Police are investigating allegations of financial impropriety against newly inaugurated President Reuven Rivlin, Channel 2 reports. Preliminary findings have been passed to the attorney general.

Rivlin denies any wrongdoing, and says the issue has been investigated twice in the past and the case was closed.

The allegations relate to monthly payments of thousands of shekels made to him more than 10 years ago by building contractor David “Dudi” Appel, who is currently serving time for bribery in an unrelated case.
