Bethel Finance: Prosecutor closes Hapoalim CEO probe

Bethel Finance news:
Deputy State Prosecutor Shai Nitzan has decided to close the case of Bank Hapoalim (TASE: POLI) CEO Zion Keinan on grounds of insufficient evidence.

Keinan was suspected of involvement in the Dan Dankner loan affair, which involved a $3.4 million loan Dankner took while serving as chairman of the bank.

Nitzan decided to close the investigation against Keinan following the recommendations of head of the financial department of the prosecutor's office Avia Alef and accompanying prosecutor Maor Even-Hen to close the case for lack of evidence.

The State Prosecutor sent the findings of the investigation to Supervisor of Banks David Zaken, because the investigation material included suspicion of banking irregularities, and since some of the material was not sent to the former Supervisor of Banks when he decided not to oppose Keinan's appointment as CEO of Bank Hapoalim. Zaken will review the administrative and regulatory aspects of material.
