Likud MK confident he’ll escape assault charges
Likud MK Oren Hazan says he is sure that the attorney general will not accept a police recommendation to charge him for assaulting of the head of the Ariel municipality, Israel’s Walla news reports.
Israel’s serious crimes unit says that there is sufficient grounds for charges to be brought.
“I have no doubt in my heart that when the case reaches the attorney general will order it be shelved for lack of guilt,” Hazan says.
“This case — in which I made the first complaint — is built on a foundation of lies and political rivalry. I believe that judicial officials will not drag this out into a media carnival and a campaign of incitement against me.”
