MK Erez Malul Accuses Deputy Attorney General of Ignoring Illegal Interrogation Tactics

During a heated session of the Knesset Constitution, Law and Justice Committee on Sunday, MK Erez Malul from Shas sharply criticized Deputy Attorney General Dr. Gil Limon. Malul alleged that he participated in a meeting attended by 22 to 24 senior prosecutors, including Limon, where illegal interrogation methods were revealed but no action was taken to stop them. These interrogation tactics were described as "criminal" in nature. Malul based his accusations on claims attributed to former Deputy Attorney General Raz Nazari and demanded that Limon respond to these serious allegations during the discussion. However, Limon remained silent and did not address the accusations.

Malul questioned whether the silence and inaction of senior legal officials in the face of such unlawful practices contributed to the systemic failures that the proposed structural reforms to the Attorney General's office aim to correct. The debate took place amid discussions on a bill to split the role of the Attorney General, highlighting tensions over judicial accountability and legal ethics within Israel's justice system. The confrontation underscored ongoing concerns about transparency and enforcement of legal standards among top legal authorities.

No immediate response or clarification was provided by Dr. Gil Limon regarding the claims, leaving the committee and public awaiting further developments on the issue.
