Likud cheers ruling on search of Netanyahu aides’ phones
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Likud party cheers a court ruling blocking police from searching the phones of a number of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides, except for campaign manager Ofer Golan.
“Concerning the warrant issued in relation to Ofer Golan’s mobile [phone], the lawyers plan to appeal the decision,” a statement from the party says.
The ruling means police cannot search the phones of Likud spokesman Jonatan Urich or party officials Yossi Shalom and Yisrael Einhorn, who argued the warrants were based on information obtained in allegedly illegal police searches of their phones.
The aides are suspected of harassing state witness Shlomo Filber, a former Likud campaign manager and longtime confidant to Netanyahu.
