Court says police can only search phone of one Netanyahu aide
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court rules police can search the phone of a top aide to Prime Minister Netanyahu suspected of harassing a state’s witness.
While approving a warrant for Likud campaign manager Ofer Golan’s phone, the court blocks police from searching the phones of other aides, including party spokesman Jonatan Urich.
Golan and Urich are under investigation for allegedly harassing Shlomo Filber, a former Netanyahu confidant who turned state’s witness in a graft case implicating the prime minister.
They have argued that search warrants for their phones were based on information obtained during previous, allegedly illegal searches, invalidating the warrants.
