# Police Question Shas MK Over Alleged Misuse of Public Funds

Police have questioned Haim Biton, a member of Knesset from the Shas party, for a second time regarding suspicions that he funneled taxpayer funds to the party's newspaper. The investigation centers on allegations that Biton used public money to pay employee salaries while he was heading the Shas school network.

The case is expected to be sent to prosecutors in the near future, who will determine whether to pursue an indictment against Biton. The second police questioning suggests the investigation has progressed to a stage where authorities are preparing to recommend charges or seek additional evidence to support their case.
