Netanyahu aides appeal against approval for police to search their phones

Two spokespeople for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his Likud party file an appeal to a district court against the authorization granted to police to search their personal cellphones as part of an investigation into their suspected harassment of a state witness in one of the corruption cases against the premier.

Attorneys for Ofer Golan and Johnatan Urich claim police illegally searched their phones as well as the phones of other suspects of attempting to intimidate Shlomo Filber, who provided the key testimony in the bribery case known as Case 4000.

They claim investigators told them information they had obtained illegally.
