Judge removed from hearing on Bezeq probe, in wake of damning report
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe president of the Tel Aviv Magistrates Court is ordering the judge handling the Bezeq corruption probe not be allowed to preside over proceedings tomorrow.
Judge Eitan Orenstein makes the call, after Channel 10 reveals a transcript of a chat between an investigator from the Israel Securities Authority and Judge Ronit Poznansky-Katz.
In it, he says that he intends to request the judge hold some of the suspects in the Bezeq probe for a few more days, while another can “be released tomorrow.”
“Try and act surprised,” he writes.
“I’m practicing my surprised face,” she responds.
