Former Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked Testifies in Corruption Probe Involving Ex-Lawyer Head and Senior Judge

The probe centers on alleged quid pro quo arrangements influencing judicial appointments in Tel Aviv. Nave and Orenstein were detained in May 2024 on bribery and fraud suspicions, with the investigation sparked by a March 2024 media report revealing compromising conversations from 2016.
