General’s attorney rejects obstruction claims
The chief IDF defense lawyer, Col. Asher Halperin, rejects suspicions, floated earlier this evening, that his client Brig. Gen. Ofek Buchris tried to obstruct the rape investigation against him.
“Any claim to an obstruction of the investigation by Buchris is utterly baseless,” he says, “and he hasn’t been investigated for obstruction or any similar suspicion.”
Halperin says news of the suspicions, to the effect that Buchris tried to contact one his two accusers, are part of a “defamation campaign against him.”
