From Tel Aviv court extends Bezeq CEO’s remand in ‘Case 4000’ graft probe
The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday extends the remand of Bezeq telecom giant CEO Stella Handler by six days in the ongoing Case 4000 investigation.
The judge in the remand hearing says there is a “reasonable suspicion, and more than that, of serious corruption,” according to Hadashot television news.
Handler is a key suspect in a case in which police suspect a quid pro quo deal between Bezeq owner Shaul Elovitz to provide favorable coverage for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the popular Walla news site, which Elovitz also owns, in exchange for Communications Ministry decisions that favored Bezeq’s business interests.
