Case 4000 accuses Benjamin Netanyahu of using his office to benefit Bezeq Telecom and its controlling shareholder, Shaul Elovitch, in exchange for favorable coverage on Walla! News, a Bezeq-owned site. Prosecutors allege that Netanyahu advanced regulatory approvals, including the Bezeq‑Yes merger, providing significant economic value to Elovitch.
Evidence includes testimony from former aides Shlomo Filber and Nir Hefetz, internal documents, emails, call logs, and recordings showing coordination between Netanyahu’s team and Bezeq/Walla personnel. Prosecutors also cite location data and patterns in Walla! coverage as supporting quid‑pro‑quo claims.
The indictment charges Netanyahu with bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. The prosecution frames the alleged benefit as regulatory advantages in exchange for positive media coverage, rather than direct cash payments, which under Israeli law still qualifies as criminal when performed by a public official. |
