Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified that he was unaware in 2017 of plans by the Israel Securities Authority to turn Shlomo Filber into a state witness. This plan was coordinated with Liat Ben Ari, the former Deputy State Attorney. During his questioning, Filber asked what he would gain from the arrangement, to which Ben Ari instructed investigator Yariv Amiad to respond, "The price will be determined by the content." Amiad told Filber that the outcome would depend on the information he provided, saying, "The question is which directions you will go, if you give the whole picture, everything. Think about it." Filber responded, "I understand."
