The probe, dubbed "the money affair," stems from a Channel 12 investigation published a year ago. That report alleged systematic fraudulent activities by Golan and her associates, including the misuse of funds from "The Hebrew City," a non-profit organization she founded to combat the presence of refugees in South Tel Aviv. The report also alleged that the organization received substantial donations without using them for local activities, and that Golan mistreated her office staff.
Police sources indicated that they believe there is sufficient evidence to support an indictment against Golan. The police had previously concluded their investigation in June and forwarded the case to the State Prosecutor's Office, which subsequently requested additional investigative actions, leading to Wednesday's questioning.
