High Court petitioned to obligate Minister Katz to return public funds
None
The Movement for Quality Government in Israel petitioned the High Court to order the attorney general to obligate Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz personally to return public funds spent illegally. The petition refers to money used on political appointments while Katz served as minister of agriculture.
In 2005, the state comptroller harshly criticized Minister Katz's conduct along with other senior figures in his office. (Aviad Glickman)
