Litzman’s office on AG’s decision: ‘With the help of God’ he won’t end up being charged
Housing Minister Yaakov Litzman’s office issues a statement reacting to Attorney General Avichai Mandlelblit’s announcement that he intends to indict the minister for obstruction of justice and breach of trust, pending a hearing.
“We believe in Minister Litzman’s full innocence,” it says, welcoming Mandenblit’s decision not to include a bribery charge.
His offices says Litzman is readying for the hearing and that “with the help of God,” he won’t ultimately be charged.
