The General Security Service is investigating a suspicion that a Joint List Knesset member received sums ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of shekels in cash. According to Arutz Sheva, the sums are in the hundreds of thousands of shekels, raising suspicion of bribery and money laundering.
