The Likud party's legal advisor is considering filing a police complaint against former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit and investigators involved in the cases against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. This move is being examined following Mandelblit's testimony in court, which the Likud claims supports their long-held assertions about the conduct of investigators and prosecutors in the Netanyahu cases.
During cross-examination at the Jerusalem District Court as part of Netanyahu's defense in his trial, Mandelblit responded to questions from Netanyahu's lawyer, Amit Haddad, regarding approvals for investigative actions, police oversight, and the circumstances surrounding the indictment. Mandelblit stated he did not recall if he personally signed the amended indictment and clarified that he did not personally approve every investigative action taken by the police. He also responded "it could be" when asked if the police might have acted behind his back.
Earlier, Likud had criticized Mandelblit's testimony, calling for a halt to Netanyahu's trial and an investigation into former senior law enforcement officials. The party is now evaluating turning this call into a formal legal action by filing a complaint with the Israel Police against Mandelblit and the involved investigators. A final decision has not yet been made.
