The police and the Israel Securities Authority have announced suspicions in File 4000, following this week's arrest of a number of suspects. They said in a statement, "In the course of the investigation, suspicions were raised regarding the offenses of integrity, fraud, the Prohibition of Money Laundering Law and the Securities Law, which were carried out over time, frequently and systematically in the framework of relationships between officers of the Bezeq Group and public employees and their associates."

The statement added, "The evidence also raises the suspicion that a number of the suspects involved acted in a blatant manner in order to disrupt investigation procedures and make it difficult to collect the evidence in the investigation."
