Family of woman charged for allegedly throwing sand at Ben Gvir files complaint over police publication of evidence

The family of Noa Goldenberg, who was indicted earlier this week for allegedly throwing wet sand at National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, files a complaint against the police for publicizing investigative material before it was sent to the Tel Aviv court.

Writing on X, Noa’s mother Sharon Goldenberg accuses the police of “harassment and bullying,” as well as “severe criminal violations, including disclosure in breach of duty, obstruction of justice, violation of privacy, and forbidden publication of a humiliating interrogation which the police officer conducted on the beach.”

The complaint was submitted to the Department for Internal Police Investigations (DIPI), a department of the State Attorney’s Office.

Goldenberg says the publication of investigative material constitutes “civil wrongs” and says the family will consider further action in that regard, hinting at a civil lawsuit against the police.

“Noa and I trust DIPI of the State Attorney’s Office, and obviously the court, and are determined to put an end to the illegal and injurious behavior of the police,” she adds.
