Minister Meyrav Golan may be summoned for further questioning following an 11-hour interrogation regarding suspicions of bribery, fraud, breach of trust, and aggravated fraud. Police believe the evidential basis against her is sufficient to file an indictment. However, the final decision rests with the State Prosecutor's Office, which will review the investigation materials and any supplementary inquiries.
Despite the lengthy interrogation concluding on Sunday, police have not ruled out the possibility that Golan will need to appear for at least one additional session. If this occurs, the date will be coordinated with her legal counsel, and the follow-up questioning could take place in the coming days or after the elections.
Golan's interrogation on Sunday marks a significant development, particularly since the investigation file was transferred to the State Prosecutor's Office months ago, and the minister had not yet provided her account. Investigators are now expected to examine her statements against the collected evidence before finalizing proceedings and deciding on potential charges.
