Mandelblit asks Gantz to delay submarine probe

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has asked Defense Minister Benny Gantz to hold off on his probe into the submarine scandal.

Mandelblit says Gantz should wait until a criminal probe into the naval acquisitions scandal can be completed.

There is no immediate comment from Gantz, whose move was seen as a shot across the bow of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, alleged to have been involved in possible shady dealings surround the purchase of submarines and other vessels from German firm Thyssenkrup.
