The former owner of telecommunications giant Bezeq, Shaul Elovitch, was indicted Wednesday on charges of fraud, breach of trust, receiving illicit gifts and violations of the Securities Law, in a case that had previously led to the opening of the most serious of the three cases for which Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is currently on trial.
The securities case involving Elovitch and other former major Bezeq officials is separate from the case against Netanyahu, known as Case 4000, in which Elovitch is also a defendant along with his wife Iris.
