Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu arrives at the Jerusalem District Court ahead of the testimony in his ongoing corruption trial of key state’s witness Shlomo Filber, the former director of the Communications Ministry.
Filber, once one of the closest officials to Netanyahu, is believed to be an essential part of the prosecution’s case against him in Case 4000, in which the former prime minister is charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. His testimony has repeatedly been delayed, most recently amid claims that police improperly hacked into Filber’s phone to spy on him.
Prosecutors and investigators later asserted that police utilized spyware to access Filber’s phone, but that it was done with judicial oversight.
