In the video, Levi stated, "Whoever votes left-wing, it is a commandment to execute them." Following the investigation, the police issued a statement emphasizing that they "view with severity any manifestation of incitement to violence and threats, and will act decisively against anyone who tries to harm public peace and security, including through social networks."
