Netanyahu Defense Demands Full Disclosure of Investigation Approvals in Trial
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defense team is demanding full disclosure of investigation approvals from former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit during his testimony in the corruption trial. The defense is challenging the scope of investigations, particularly in Case 4000, questioning whether Mandelblit authorized charges of bribery or only fraud and breach of trust. Mandelblit testified he approved investigations into Netanyahu for all three cases but could not recall specific wording regarding bribery. The trial, which began in May 2020, involves charges in three cases, all of which Netanyahu denies.
