the bad feeling that because
of the absurd situation I
have been caught in — of be-
ing investigated for two and
a half years — that hasty
measures will be taken in
the next few weeks, because
of the pressure of public opi-
nion to prove that something
has been accomplished in
this investigation."
Justice authorities explain
that the main reason for
their delay is the refusal by
Mr. Deri and other suspects
to respond to police question-
ing. Another reason is that
while the probe began with
Mr. Deri, it grew rapidly to
include other current and
former Shas Knesset mem-
bers, party officials and Or-
thodox businessmen friendly
to Shas.
Investigative reporters
Mordechai Gilat and Mali
Kempner, who broke the
story in Yediot Aharonot,
wrote recently that of the 19
key suspects, only two have
answered questions from the
police. This was confirmed
by the Justice Ministry.
Besides Mr. Deri, the other
current Knesset member
under investigation is
Raphael Pinchasi, Com-
munications Minister in the
last government and one of
Shas's six Knesset members
in this one. Mr. Pinchasi
bore most of the blame a
couple of years ago when
State Comptroller Miriam
Ben-Porat fined Shas about
$250,000 —the highest fine
ever levied by an Israeli
state comptroller —for its
highly unkosher bookkeep-
ing practices. (Ms.Ben-Porat
also slammed Mr. Deri for
pouring Interior Ministry
millions into Shas's
yeshivas, community
centers and charities.)

While the climax to the in-
vestigation is still to come,
the Deri affair has already
produced three court cases
involving Shas officials
accused of embezzling,
ordering an illegal wiretap
and bribery.
As part of Shas's coalition
agreement with Labor, Mr.
Deri promised Mr. Rabin in
writing that he would step
down as Interior Minister if
and when prosecutors are set
to press charges against
him.

He did not, however, prom-
ise to give up his Knesset
seat. This leaves Mr. Deri a
hope of avoiding prosecution
and potentially tremendous
leverage over the rest of the
government. A Knesset
member is immune from
prosecution, unless the
Knesset votes to strip him of
that shield. ❑
