Minister for Social Equality and Advancement of the Status of Women, May Golan of the Likud party, was questioned under caution on Wednesday at the Lahav 433 unit offices in Lod. The investigation, dubbed "the money affair," concerns suspicions of aggravated bribery, fraud, breach of trust, and submitting false affidavits.
Police sources indicated that evidence exists to support an indictment against Golan. In June of this year, the police announced the conclusion of their investigation and forwarded the case to the State Prosecutor's Office for a decision on prosecution. The prosecution requested additional investigative actions, leading to Golan's summons for further questioning under caution.
A year ago, a Channel 12 investigation revealed alleged systematic fraudulent activities by Golan and her associates. The report claimed Golan misused funds from a non-profit organization she founded, "The Hebrew City," which aimed to combat the presence of refugees in South Tel Aviv. The report also alleged she mistreated her office staff and that the organization received substantial donations without using them for activities in the area. It was further claimed that Golan illegally received a salary of thousands of shekels from the non-profit while serving on its board.
