Shas faction chairman Arie Deri responded on Sunday to a report by Amit Segal, launching an attack on the State Prosecution. Deri referenced recordings of the Police's Head of Investigations, Boaz Blatt, in which Blatt admits that the prosecution allegedly keeps criminal files to extort police officers and public figures.
Deri stated that Segal's recording "reveals to the public what we in Shas have known for decades: how senior officials in the State Prosecution, led by Dorit Beinesh and Shai Nitzan, operated with mafia-like and cruel methods against elected officials, using investigations and criminal files as a means to extort and eliminate political rivals."
"This is the core of the malignant corruption in Israel's public service system, the likes of which are known only from dark regimes," Deri continued. "The same criminal conduct is being continued today by the ousted Attorney General Meyara and the State Prosecutor. The public in Israel must awaken and understand: this dangerous plague must be eradicated."
