the Government’s legal adviser to Avishai Mendelblit, who took the final decision, skrädde not the words in its 54 pages long anklagelseakt:
” You have damaged public trust in the administration. You acted in the questions, despite the conflict of interest, you abused your authority and gave precedence to your personal interests and your family’s interests. You corrupt officers who served under you.
In an emotional televised speech attacked the prime minister Mendelblit – Netanyahu himself appointed – and accused him of having been tampered with by the ”left” and ”the press”:
” No one in the history of the world has been positive tidningsskriverier! The whole purpose is to defeat our party Likud in the courts because they can’t do it through the ballot box! I will reign for many years to come, if you give me confidence!
Netanyahu highlighted in its close relations to president Putin and Donald Trump and his position as storpolitiker.
made in the last flurry of efforts to block the announcement of the prosecution, inter alia, with a besvärsskrift to the Supreme court. Where it was claimed that Avishai Mendelblit is interfering in politics when he prosecutes Netanyahu before the elections. HD rejected the protest and Mendelblit could publish its decision.
If Netanyahu, as he promises, is still, despite the suspicions of serious crimes, so if a situation arises that is unique in the country, and probably in all the democratic countries ‘ history. High-ranking officials have rannsakats and convicted in Israel – a president, a prime minister, a minister, a finance minister and a chief rabbi – but after they departed.
against Netanyahu goes in polisprotokollen under the names of ”1000”, ”2000” and ”3000”. The first relates to the luxury gifts from billionaires to mr and mrs Netanyahu, mostly in the form of pink champagne, havana cigars, jewelry, and tailored suits. ”Collection 2000” is deleted from the call between Netanyahu and Arnon Moses, owner of the country’s largest newspaper, Yediot Ahronot, on favors in exchange for affectionate reporting. These calls are recorded. Moses will be prosecuted for bribery.
The third objective, it can be classified as bribery for the Netanyahu part, the intimate relations between Netanyahu and owner of Israel’s most important nätsajt Walla. In exchange for flattery in the coverage of Netanyahu got the Wallas the owner Shaul Elovitch permission of the prime minister to sell an almost worthless satellite tv companies for the terrific rate in a convoluted transaction, which cost the taxpayers two and a half billion crowns.
Two of Netanyahu’s closest men will testify against him in this case. These witnesses have given a rich sample of the dubious relations between Elovitch and Netanyahu, including several sms-dialogues where Elovitch gives their editors the order to ”Take away the where the news, otherwise it goes my business down the drain!”.
Before the trial begins, the Netanyahu lawyers to be given the opportunity to convince prosecutors to withdraw the prosecution. This will not happen before the election on 9 april, and possibly not until next year.
