Was Benjamin Netanyahu involved in dirty deals in the purchase of submarines from German defense company ThyssenKrupp? Israeli lawyer Eliad Shraga accuses the German judiciary and politicians of not helping to resolve the issue.
DER SPIEGEL: Mr. Shraga, you have been fighting for years to hold longtime Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accountable for corruption in the submarine scandal. Are you happy that he is now out of office?
Shraga: I am not leading a personal feud against him. We are fighting corruption on all levels. I want to see a thorough investigation of the purchase of submarines and corvettes from ThyssenKrupp. This is why we have filed a petition to the Supreme Court in Jerusalem to force the establishment of a national committee of inquiry. And we hope that the judges will order the attorney general to begin a comprehensive investigation into Netanyahu and of all others involved.
