The police announced today, Wednesday, that the investigation into Minister May Golan, which was opened following a "HaMevaker" investigation on Channel 12 News, has been completed. A senior Lahav official told N12 that there is sufficient evidence to file an indictment against Golan and her associates.

The National Fraud Investigations Unit, Lahav 433, has completed its investigation into the case involving Minister for Social Equality and the Advancement of the Status of Women May Golan and her associates. The suspects were questioned on suspicion of committing a series of offenses related to public integrity, including bribery, fraud and breach of trust. The alleged offenses also include obtaining something by fraud under aggravated circumstances, forgery with intent to obtain something, obstruction of justice and impeding a police officer in the performance of duty.

The investigation into Golan and those close to her began as a covert investigation that lasted several months, and in September last year, with the approval of the attorney general, it became a public investigation. As part of the case, dozens of suspects and witnesses were questioned by Lahav 433 investigators. The investigation was conducted under the supervision of the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office, Taxation and Economics.

After all investigative steps were completed, Lahav 433 chief, Commander Meni Benjamin, and the head of the Investigations and Intelligence Division, Commander Boaz Balat, approved transferring the case to the prosecution for review and decision.

"HaMevaker" advertisement, what is Minister May Golan doing with all our money? The MK and Minister for Social Equality and the Advancement of the Status of Women, May Golan, is known, among other things, for her controversial statements and noisy battles in the Knesset plenum. But many are asking what the minister is actually doing in her role, and where the money we all pay is going, amid the war and on the eve of a year full of economic burdens. The excessive demands from the advisers, the donations that do not match the association's goals, and the "aerated" meeting diary that was kept, all stood at the center of the "HaMevaker" investigation, which led to the opening of a criminal investigation, a police raid on her office, and her summoning for questioning. Watch the "HaMevaker" investigation.
