Levin fires back against AG, says he will stop her office from investigating Sde Teiman leak

Justice Minister Yariv Levin is pressing on in his effort to bar Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara from the legal proceedings against the former military advocate general regarding the Sde Teiman video leak, saying he “totally rejects” Baharav-Miara’s claim that he has no authority to exclude her.

Writing to Deputy Attorney General Gil Limon, who authored this morning’s letter to Levin on behalf of the attorney general, the justice minister says the public “no longer accepts your custom of having one law for yourselves and another law for everyone else.”

Levin also repeats his statement from Saturday, insisting that Baharav-Miara and the entire Attorney General’s Office be excluded from prosecuting the case against the former military advocate general.

It appears likely that government watchdog groups will file petitions to the High Court of Justice over the dispute between the justice minister and the Attorney General’s Office.
