Prosecution indicts former Bank Hapoalim chair Dankner

State prosecution indicted former Bank Hapoalim chairman Danny Dankner on Sunday, charging him with fraud, breach of trust and money laundering.
According to the indictment, Dankner allegedly also opened a bank account under the name of his secretary, and failed to properly divulge his holdings in the Elron company.
In August, Dankner was suspected of bribery and tax evasion in connection with the Holyland affair, in which he allegedly paid NIS 1.5 million in bribes to then-Israel Lands Administration head Yaakov Efrati, to ensure that industrial land he owned in Atlit could be converted into profitable real estate developments.
