The Jerusalem District Court rejects a request by former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defense lawyers to not permit evidence obtained from the phone of key state witness Shlomo Filber, after it emerged his mobile device was illicitly hacked by police.
Testimony is now set to resume in the case tomorrow.
Prosecutors have acknowledged that Filber’s phone was hacked with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware, but asserted that no relevant information was found or used in the case.
