The identities of Likud party court president Michael Kleiner, brothers Yafe and Yitzhak Dayan, and contractor Dudi Appel have been cleared for publication, according to multiple Israeli media reports. The individuals are suspected of economic offenses involving millions of shekels.
Multiple Israeli media outlets — including ynet, N12, and NewsSil — reported Wednesday morning that the names of four senior Likud figures investigated by the Lahav 433 police unit have been cleared for publication. The suspects are Likud party court president Michael Kleiner, brothers Yafe and Yitzhak Dayan, and contractor Dudi Appel. They are being questioned on suspicion of economic offenses involving millions of shekels. The investigation was first reported earlier in the morning by N12 journalist Yolan Cohen, who identified the same individuals. The names had been under a gag order until Wednesday morning, when they were cleared for publication. The Zioneer reported at 08:02 Jerusalem time that the investigation was underway, prior to the confirmation of the identities. The probe is being conducted by Lahav 433's national fraud unit.
