Police questioned Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Zvi Heifetz, Friday morning over a money laundering affair connected to a Bank Hapoalim branch in Tel Aviv.

Heifetz, a former business manager to Russian-Israeli tycoon Vladimir Gusinsky, was first approached by investigators two months ago.

The ambassador was questioned over allegations that Gusinsky’s cash was “laundered” via bank accounts at the Hapoalim branch.

During questioning Friday, police presented Heifetz with documents said to be incriminating.

Officials in the police’s International Crimes Unit view Heifetz as a suspect in numerous other crimes unrelated to Gusinky.

Heifetz, a licensed attorney, was first summoned for questioning eight months after the affair first came to light due to the fact that questioning Heifetz is subject to approval by the attorney general, Menachem Mazuz.
