Israeli police have seized envelopes containing tens of thousands of shekels in cash from the homes of three suspects in the Negev region. Authorities suspect the money was intended to bribe voters in exchange for casting ballots for the Ra'am party in the 26th Knesset elections.
The cash was discovered during searches conducted by officers from the Southern District's Central Unit in the homes of the suspects, who are residents of the Segev Shalom and Ar'arat an-Naqab Bedouin communities. Alongside the cash, police also found notes and other items that are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation into the alleged vote-buying scheme.
The three suspects were arrested overnight and are currently being questioned. They are expected to be brought before a court today for a hearing on the police's request to extend their detention as the investigation continues.
