Hazan threatens legal action against reporter

Speaking to reporters, Hazan warns he will seek legal action against Channel 2 reporter Amit Segal for his report accusing the Likud lawmaker of using crystal meth and soliciting prostitutes, while working as a casino manager in Bulgaria.

“Since when have we become a society that believes, forgive me for the phrasing, prostitutes and drug addicts hiding in the shadows rather than someone who was democratically elected and received thousands of votes, and who, at this very moment is getting thousands of ‘likes,’ voicemails and support from the public?” Hazan says.

“Amit Segal — get ready, you and I are going to meet in court,” Hazan adds. “The lies you spread will soon be dispelled.”
