Police recommend Yedioth Ahronoth publisher be indicted for bribery
Along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, police are recommending the publisher of Yedioth Ahronoth, Arnon Mozes, be indicted for bribery.
Mozes was implicated in Case 2000, the investigation into an illicit quid pro-quo deal between Netanyahu and Mozes that would have seen the prime minister weaken a rival daily, the Sheldon Adelson-backed Israel Hayom, in return for more favorable coverage from Yedioth.
In the reported agreement, which was not implemented, the prime minister said he would advance legislation to curb the circulation of Israel Hayom if Mozes instructed his reporters and op-ed writers to change their often negative stance towards him.
