High Court says no reason to investigate leaks to media from Case 4000

The High Court of Justice rejects a petition calling for a criminal investigation into leaks from a corruption case into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Bezeq telecommunications company’s controlling stakeholder.

The court says it has no reason to intervene after the attorney general decided an investigation into the media reports about the so-called Case 4000 was not necessary.

The petition was filed by Shaul Elovitch, the head of Bezeq and the Walla news site and a suspect in the corruption case, and his wife, Iris. Netanyahu faces bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges in the case.
