A Haaretz investigation reveals that Netanyahu campaign adviser Israel 'Srulik' Einhorn – who is currently mired in two controversial, high-profile affairs – may have used shell companies to defraud the government and to cheat it out of nearly a million shekels while working on a tourism ad campaign
