The criminal investigation into the fake academic degrees continues and widens. In addition to two leaders of the National Teachers\' Union who have admitted purchasing their degrees or most of the papers involved in achieving them, the investigation is now also zeroing in on the former Police Commander of the Northern District. The police have also received hundreds of other similar complaints regarding policemen, army officers, teachers, and many other public figures. Each \"bought\" academic degree costs the government hundreds of shekels a month in higher salaries, and the sum total could be millions of shekels a year.
