Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri was heard for more than four hours by the police on Monday (May 29th). His name is at the heart of a corruption investigation. The scenario has a little air of déjà-vu. In the 1990s, Aryeh Deri had already been Minister of the Interior. A few years later he was convicted of having received bribes and was sentenced to 22 months in prison.
