“This is a personal investigation, rather than an investigation that focuses on a concrete suspicion,” they concluded.
Also Sunday, the Jerusalem District Court authorized the release of some confidential information from the Netanyahu investigations to the defense team, partially approving a request from the prime minister’s lawyers.
The documents include the full testimony of former Walla CEO Ilan Yeshua, and a previously redacted account on the arrest of state’s witness Nir Hefetz, formerly a Netanyahu spokesperson.
Netanyahu’s corruption trial resumed last Sunday, with his lawyers asking the court to dismiss the charges against him due to alleged impropriety by police investigators, and the judges indicating they intended to order prosecutors to explain why some parts of the indictment were not sufficiently detailed.
