Likud-linked contractor vows revenge after fraud investigation, hurling abuse at police

A contractor with links to Israel’s Likud party has made angry threats whilst leaving questioning at the Lahav 433 police unit, Israel’s white-collar crime division, where he was being investigated on suspicion of concealing property rights and money laundering.As he exited the interrogation, the suspect alleged that “a group of criminals want to take money from a person, to destroy them and silence them. They will pay a heavy price for this.”The investigation centres on allegations that the contractor concealed his ownership rights in real estate assets and illegally transferred funds. The vague nature of his accusations — directed at those involved in the investigation — suggests frustration at the police inquiry rather than any specific external threat.Lahav 433, established to tackle financial crimes and organised crime, regularly investigates high-profile figures accused of corruption and fraud. The unit’s investigations have frequently involved politically connected businesspeople and contractors in recent years.
