Notable: PM must be indicted for bribery, conviction is guaranteed, AG’s team said to say.
Israeli TV publishes what it says are transcripts from discussions between Mandelblit and his prosecution team; Netanyahu condemns ‘criminal leaks’
The senior state prosecutor who oversaw the police investigation into one of the three corruption cases facing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regards it as “a clear case of bribery” involving hundreds of millions of shekels, according to a transcript of discussions with her boss, Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, quoted by Israeli television on Friday night.
Mandelblit, Israel’s top legal officer, is expected to publish his conclusions on the three cases within the next few weeks, having informed Netanyahu’s lawyers earlier Friday that he has rejected the prime minister’s demand that any decision to indict be postponed until after Israel’s April 9 elections.
According to Channel 13 News, which presented what it said were transcripts from the discussions Mandelblit has been holding with his state prosecution team as he reviews the cases against Netanyahu, prosecutor Liat Ben-Ari told Mandelbit she has no doubt that the prime minister should be prosecuted over Case 4000, reportedly the most serious of the three cases.
