Suspect in Bitan graft probe being questioned by police

Rishon Lezion furniture store owner Moshe Yosef, a key suspect — and possible future state’s witness — in the graft probe against former coalition whip MK David Bitan (Likud) is at the Lod headquarters of the Israel Police’s national fraud and major crimes unit Lahav 433.

He is reportedly being questioned about the alleged bribery scheme that has ensnared Bitan, one of Likud’s most powerful lawmakers.

The questioning comes amid reports of a “dramatic development” in the case, though details of the development are under a court-imposed gag order.
