On June 20, 2017, the Israel Securities Authority ("ISA") raided the Company's offices on suspicion of securities law violations by Bezeq's chairman—and, through an arrangement of holding companies associated with Eurocom Group Ltd. ("Eurocom"), the Company's majority shareholder—Shaul Elovitch.  Specifically, the ISA stated that it is investigating possible misconduct "with regards to transactions related to the controlling shareholder."  An Israeli business publication reported that the ISA is investigating the merger of Bezeq's television unit with its parent company, as well as payments the unit made to Eurocom under pressure from Elovitch. 

On this news, Bezeq's American Depositary Receipt price fell $0.37, or 4.12%, to close at $8.61 on June 20, 2017.
