Police and the Israel Securities Authority published their recommendations on Sunday within the framework of the investigation of the Case 4000 (the "Bezeq-Walla affair"), after they completed the investigation into the affair.
At the conclusion of the investigation, police and the Israel Securities Authority said that "against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, a sufficient evidentiary infrastructure [for indictment] has been established over offenses of bribery, fraud and breach of trust and fraudulently obtaining an item under aggravated circumstances."
In addition, against Sara Netanyahu, an evidentiary basis has formed for an indictment over offenses of taking bribes (collectively), fraud and breach of trust (collectively), and disruption of investigative and judicial proceedings.
Against Shaul Elovitch, a sufficient evidentiary infrastructure for indictment was established over offenses of bribery, disruption of investigative and legal proceedings, reporting offenses under the Securities Law and offenses under the Prohibition on Money Laundering Law.
Upon completion of the investigation, the investigation materials will be transferred to the State Attorney's Office, where the materials will be examined together with the investigation materials in cases 1000 and 2000.

One of my pets peeves about the left and it's use of any means necessary is the ACLU.
Few people know that the aclu was founded by an avowed communist by the name of Roger Baldwin, he traveled to Russia, and said that he would use the US Constitution to destroy the USA.
I hate all lawyers, my neighbor{s} that are lawyers, and even the pricks that I paid, but I reserve a special deep hatred for lawyers that belong to the ACLU.
Shakespeare was correct, "The first thing we do is kill all the lawyers".
Hounding him and his wife for years now...
Apparently the bribe involved “sympathetic coverage on the Walla! news website”. Not money or valuables.
I hate all lawyers...
Yep. Lawyers are Americas Domestic enemy #1. Pubic school teachers are #2. MSM #3. (Their ranking often rotates.)
“Apparently the bribe involved sympathetic coverage on the Walla! news website. Not money or valuables.”
I worked for an Israeli company. From years of exposure I can say that offering and taking bribes is about as normal in Israeli culture as a handshake is in the US. The astonishing thing would be if Netanyahu had not taken bribes. Hopefully, he did it at more than one remove. The ways bribery is conducted here are; a book deal and/or a donation to a separate entity, who then kicks back to the intended target. (That’s really just another version of the book deal gambit, only you don’t have to hire a ghost writer.)
Totally treasonous and worthy of the death penalty. Taking hundreds of millions in bribes through a shell ‘non-profit’ foundation in exchange for selling off, among other things, the nation’s uranium to a communist regime intent on world domination.
Oh, wait! That was Hillary and Bill. Well, nothing to see here, move along!
“The ways bribery is conducted here are; a book deal”
We do the same here; I think a lot of our major publishers are complicit.
The FINAL AUTHORITY:
DANIEL 2:20-21
Blessed be the name of God forever and ever,
to Whom belong wisdom and might.
He changes times and seasons;
He removes kings and sets up kings;
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to those who have understanding;
99% of them give the rest of us s a bad name.
Accusations against Netanyahu have the same validity as those against Trump - one may be true, some day, but it hasn’t happened yet. The globalist left disgusts me.
They probably had to resort to fabricating a bribe story since a fabricated Russian collusion story most likely wouldn’t work in this case.
In Israel it appears criminal charges don’t apply to one political party only. Ehud Barak was recently released from serving 16 months of a 27 month prison term for fraud and bribery.
Sorry ... Ehud Olmert was recently released from prison.
Interesting post yours. Thanks for the insight.
What is the book deal gambit? Would you explain for us? I think it would help us understand the political world of book sales a lot better!
When SCOTUS ruled it was unconstitutional to prevent lawyers from advertising, then-Chief Justice Burger said he feared a society overrun by hordes of lawyers, hungry as locusts. Since that ruling, the number of shysters being minted by law schools has grown six times (6x) as fast as the US population. And last year the ambulance-chasing industry spent more than a billion dollars (with a "B") on electronic advertising.
And that billion dollars by necessity had to be siphoned off from the US economy.
What was the largest section of The Yellow Pages?
“What is the book deal gambit? Would you explain for us? I think it would help us understand the political world of book sales a lot better!”
Let’s say I want a government contract or favor; a waiver to sell my products to Iran, for example. Since Abscam, where the FBI videoed politicians stuffing wads of $100’s in their pockets, the bribery game has been more sophisticated. It is conducted at one remove from the bribery target with little or no contact between supplicant and politician. A deal is worked with a trusted political aide. The aide says the politician will do x for you if you provide Y money. The aide will suggest a friendly publisher. You go to the publisher and say, “I want you to write a book deal to politician X for Y dollars.” The publisher gets a rake off the top and doesn’t care one way or the other if the book deal is consummated because they got their money up front. (Lots of advances are paid to authors who never write the book, so nothing to see here.)
Another way is to go to the party headquarters and discuss your issue with a party official. They’ll let you know right up front if they can help with your issue. When my uncle did this for a zoning variance worth a couple of hundred thousand, it was five percent of the package. He wrote a check and got his variance the next day by messenger. The newspaper was furious, but there was no paper trail and no evidence. Not even the minutes from a public meeting. Using this method there is no trail to pick up and follow. The actors are likely sophisticated enough to use vague terms that could be interpreted multiple ways in court if they were recorded. You just have to trust that the system is designed for patronage and that it works. (Other businessmen will explain it over cocktails at the golf club. That’s how you learn about this sort of thing. It’s a trust issue between parties who know each other and come with referral’s.)
