Israeli prosecutors charge former officials with corruption
• http://hosted.ap.org, APThe Justice Ministry announced Tuesday that 10 suspects in the high-profile case, including former lawmaker Deputy Interior Minister Faina Kirschenbaum, were indicted on charges ranging from bribery to tax evasion.
The charges are the culmination of a prolonged investigation by Israeli police into suspected corruption by members of the hard-line nationalist party.
Last year, the Justice Ministry said it had evidence against 16 members of the Yisrael Beiteinu party. Tuesday's announcement didn't include charges against Stas Misezhnikov, a former tourism minister suspected of bribery, breach of trust and drug use.
