Hirchson - the full story

Friday's Haaretz Magazine has a story by Gidi Weitz which outlines the full extent, as discovered by Haaretz and based on testimonies from police statements and other interviews, outline a fantastic, (and if he had not been caught and the facts proven, the word could be taken literally) story of him using a whole network of people to carry out his embezzlement of 2.5 million shekel from the National Workers Federation (NWF).

This included
"NIS 1.2 million for permanent monthly "expenses," between NIS 600,000 and NIS 750,000 for trips abroad, NIS 160,000 as "holiday grants," NIS 115,000 for meals in restaurants and in the Knesset cafeteria, NIS 72,000 for medicines and NIS 30,000 to host members of the Likud Central Committee. The investigators also suspect that the NWF financed Hirchson's campaigns in the Likud primaries of 1998 and 2002 to the tune of NIS 600,000."

If you thought that the scandal of our prime minister and bank leumi were over, then an article, also in Haaretz stated that not only is the case still open, but they are awaiting on the results of another case involving the Dimona Silica Industries by the ministry of trade, when he was the minister.

Will this end ?
