Comptroller says possible criminal missteps in Haifa ammonia relocation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIn a report given to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, the State Comptroller’s Office says government officials handling the search for an alternative to the ammonia processing plant in Haifa may have illegally helped Haifa Chemicals, the company that owns the plant.
The report says the decisionmaking process and the way in which various options for relocating the site were weighed could have been structured to favor Haifa Chemicals’ interests over those of the public.
It specifically names Environmental Protection Ministry Director General Israel Danziger as a key figure involved in the case, who the comptroller’s office claims may have acted in violation of conflict of interest rules.
