Ynet exclusive: MK Molla does not have academic degree, despite claims
Education section of Kadima parliamentarian's profile on the Knesset website falsely claims he completed Bachelors Degree in social work at Bar-Ilan University in 1991
Kadima MK Shlomo Molla never completed his BA studies at Bar-Ilan University despite his claims to the contrary, Ynet learned on Monday.
In the education section of Molla's profile on the Knesset website, it is written that the MK completed a Bachelors Degree in social work at Bar-Ilan University in 1991 and that he received an LLB in law in 2005 from the Ono Academic College in Kiryat Ono.

The college in Kiryat Ono confirmed that Molla had in fact completed his L.L.B studies there.
The MK told Ynet in response, "I studied at the school for social work and I have a degree from the college in Kiryat Ono.
But the Knesset website says that you have another degree from Bar-Ilan.
"I'll check and get back to you."
On the "Go Kadima" website Molla also wrote that he had completed his BA at Bar-Ilan.
A Yedioth Ahronoth investigation published Sunday revealed that a $10,000 donation was transferred to Molla's bank account by an American messianic organization promoting Jewish belief in Jesus that asked that the money be distributed among needy people in the Ethiopian immigrant community. However, MK Molla reportedly kept the money in his account and did not distribute it to anyone.
