Israel’s banking supervisor suspects a branch of Bank Hapoalim located on Hayarkon St. in Tel Aviv of laundering hundreds of millions of dollars.

Twenty-two employees and senior bank officials have already been arrested in the developing bank scandal that has been under clandestine investigation by the police department for over one year.

Another 45 individuals, including some prominent names in business and the media are about to be arrested for questioning in Israel’s biggest bank scandal since the collapse of the Bank of Commerce a few years ago.
