Israeli police have named the two close associates of Benjamin Netanyahu who have been arrested for their suspected role in a wide-ranging corruption investigation that has added to the suspicions around the long-time Israeli leader, already accused of bribery in two separate cases.

Police identified the pair as Nir Hefetz, a former Netanyahu spokesman, and Shlomo Filber, the former director of the communications ministry.

The two are suspected of promoting regulations worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Israel’s Bezeq telecommunications company in return for favorable coverage of Netanyahu on a popular subsidiary news site.

Israeli police have said there’s enough evidence to charge Netanyahu in two separate corruption cases. And now several of his associates are being pursued on similar charges.
