Filber tells Netanyahu prosecutors he erased messages to free up phone
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleProsecutors are continuing to grill former Communications Ministry head Shlomo Filber, a state witness now accused of changing his testimony in the trial of former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Filber continues to insist that he is not contradicting his past statements, though he says part of what he told investigators was “analysis” of the situation.
He admits that messages on his phone were erased, but notes that “the phone was 96 percent full,” and says they included family and neighborhood groups and “all the people I spoke to endlessly.”
“But I didn’t erase any emails and didn’t hide any evidence,” he says.
He says he become a state witness after a “risk assessment.”
