Further investigation against Netanyahu
In the new case, Netanyahu is suspected of having granted legal benefits to the telecommunications company Bezeq as Secretary of Communications. In return, the company belonging to the group Walla should have reported positive about him.
The head of government and his confidants are also said to have influenced important appointments at Walla. Netanyahu gave the ministerial office in 2017. The police also recommend an indictment of the Bezeq owner Schaul Elovitch
The police had previously recommended that Netanyahu be charged with corruption in two other cases. The decision as to whether an indictment is actually filed lies with the Attorney General.
