For more than a month now, there has been a gag order on details of the Bezeq Israeli Telecommunication Co. Ltd. (TASE: BEZQ) investigation and today the Tel Aviv Magistrates Court extended the order until September 17, the eve of the Rosh Hashana New Year holiday. However, Judge Ita Nachman released for publication that as part of the investigation, Orna Elovitch, daughter-in-law of Bezeq's controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch, who sits on the board of directors, has been questioned. Both Shaul Elovitch and his son Or Elovitch (Orna's husband) have both previously been questioned and barred from entering Bezeq's offices. Yes comptroller Oren Bergman and head of the economics department Yaron Raanan were also questioned.
