Social Equality Minister May Golan is currently the subject of a major criminal investigation, known as the cash bonanza affair, involving suspicions of bribery under aggravated circumstances, fraud, breach of trust, misuse of public funds, and filing false affidavits. Investigators from the Lahav 433 unit allege Golan created fictitious government jobs for associates and relatives, used public funds for personal errands, and funneled money through nonprofits. Police formally recommended that prosecutors indict her in June 2026. Golan denies all allegations of wrongdoing. Additionally, Golan was questioned in 2025 regarding a 2020 traffic incident in which she allegedly hit a motorcyclist. Separately, the nonprofit she previously led, Hebrew City, faces scrutiny for failing to disclose substantial foreign donations.
