During the cross-examination of former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, attorney Amit Haddad presented a document from previous Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein concerning the closure of a case after a police investigation. Haddad argued that the matters Weinstein had previously decided to close were the same issues Mandelblit later approved for further investigation in Case 1000. Haddad questioned Mandelblit, asking if he was aware that the issues he authorized for investigation in Case 1000 had already been presented to the previous attorney general, who had decided to close them after review. Mandelblit responded, "No, I was not told." Haddad further inquired if the closure document had been shown to Mandelblit, asserting that these matters had already been investigated and were re-examined through an informant codenamed "Kaspit." Mandelblit stated, "No, I was never shown this document."
