When Shas Chairman Aryeh Deri showed up at the weekly Cabinet meeting on the morning of April 3, he tried to convey a sense of business as usual. He acted as if he were not the subject of a criminal investigation.
For the most part, Deri succeeded in concealing the emotions that must be churning inside him. After all, this is his second police investigation as a minister, and he was convicted in 2000 of bribery.
