Police recommends closing Herzog primaries probe
Police will recommend closing the investigation into opposition leader MK Isaac Herzog (Zionist Union).
According to Channel 2, police are ending four months of investigation into suspicions that the Labor Party leader received an illegal donation in 2013 and failed to report it.
Police say they do not believe there is sufficient evidence for an indictment, as there is no proof that Herzog was aware of the problematic donation.
The recommendation has been passed on to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who has the final say on a possible indictment.
The donation was spent on Herzog’s 2013 primary campaign against MK Shelly Yachimovich.
