Likud MK asks he not be given investigatory materials until after the election

Likud MK David Bitan is asking that the investigatory materials in the corruption investigation implicating him not be given to him or other suspects in the case until after the March 2 elections.

The request is due to concerns the material could be leaked.

“We are about a month before elections in the most sensitive period politically. Revealing investigatory materials could cause serious harm to the integrity of the elections and the voters,” Dror Matityahu, one of Bitan’s lawyers, is quoted saying by Channel 13 news.
