Minister Mai Golan was questioned for over 11 hours on Wednesday by the National Fraud Investigation Unit at Lahav 433 regarding allegations against her, which she denied. During the interrogation, Golan told investigators, "It's all nonsense, it's all lies." She expressed a desire to conclude the investigation promptly, stating, "I want to finish this investigation today. Take all the time you need, I won't leave here until it's over." Golan also asserted her willingness to answer all questions without invoking her right to silence.
However, a senior source close to the investigation claimed that investigators possess significant evidence linking her to the suspicions. This source indicated that Golan would likely be summoned for at least one more day of questioning. The source suggested that Golan may have prepared for the interrogation with her lawyers, potentially learning from the questioning of other suspects in the case.
The timing of Golan's appearance for questioning was also linked to the upcoming elections and their potential impact on her parliamentary immunity, which is set to expire in a week. The source speculated that Golan would have preferred to avoid the interrogation altogether if possible, but understood the implications of her immunity ending.
