Judge Noam Solberg, head of the Central Election Committee, has expressed strong disapproval of information leaks concerning the Shin Bet's investigation into alleged voter bribery. In a letter to committee members, Solberg stated that the numerous media leaks are causing significant damage to the ongoing investigation.
Solberg emphasized that the investigation is still active and involves sensitive information that has not yet solidified into concrete evidence. He noted that the current evidentiary status is similar to what was presented before a press statement last week. He also confirmed that cooperation between the Shin Bet, the government's legal advisor, and the police is functioning well, and he found no evidence that the legal advisor had rejected Shin Bet requests for investigative actions.
"I have been assured, and I trust this assurance, that any request submitted based on suspicions of the degree provided by law will be considered promptly and effectively, with the intention of satisfying all that contributes to establishing the truth, and in accordance with the law," Solberg stated. He further condemned the leaks not just as a breach of decorum but as repeated damage to the investigation, particularly its security-related aspects.
