RELATED ARTICLES Nir Hefetz could be the final nail in Netanyahu's coffin Shaul and Iris Elovitch, Netanyahu aide, among Case 4000 suspects Netanyahu aide allegedly tried to bribe judge Under the circumstances it is clear that Filber's testimony will be critical for Elovitch and the other suspects including Bezeq CEO Stella Handler but the telecom's executives aren't the only ones with much to fear, there are also the government figures who received the alleged bribes. Among them could be Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who has yet to be questioned by police.
