Deputy AG: Ex-official who quit over misconduct can serve as Likud negotiator
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDeputy Attorney General Dina Zilber says there are no grounds for disqualifying a former official who in the past resigned from the Prime Minister’s Office over allegations of sexual misconduct from participating in the Likud coalition talks.
She is responding to Meretz leader Tamar Zandberg, who protested the involvement of Natan Eshel.
Zilber, in a legal opinion, says Eshel’s plea bargain did not prevent him from participating in public roles in the future.
Eshel served in the PMO in 2009-2012 and resigned as part of a plea bargain over the allegations, specifically that he had used a surreptitiously placed camera to film under the skirt of a female colleague. He was also accused of accessing her private emails.
