Public Security Minister Erdan calls on the attorney general to probe claims made by Police Chief Roni Alsheich last week that “powerful figures” had hired private investigators to collect information about the police investigators in the corruption cases against the prime minister, apparently to personally discredit them should they recommend indictments.

“I urge them not to leave this issue alone, and I expect them to do everything in their power to obtain answers,” he says at the Knesset.

If, heaven forbid, someone is gathering information about investigators, this is something that the public needs to know about,” Erdan says, adding that he’s “not able to sleep at night over it.”
