Social Equality Minister May Golan is evading a police summons for questioning over her alleged role in hitting and injuring a motorcyclist with her car in 2020, Hebrew news sites report.
Police suspect that Golan ran a red light and collided with the motorcyclist as a result, leaving him slightly injured. The case was closed on account of Golan’s parliamentary immunity, but was reopened last year following an appeal by the motorcyclist.
This is not the first time Golan has avoided questioning by the police regarding the incident. In June last year, she decried the investigation as “political persecution” and a “cynical use of police resources.”
A week ago, police summoned Golan again for questioning, but she once again postponed, citing “various scheduling constraints.”
Early last week, Channel 12 aired an expose into Golan’s conduct, claiming she repeatedly misused funds intended for her non-profit and mistreated employees in her office. Her office denies these allegations.
