Netanyahu’s lawyers ask court to trash indictment
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defense attorneys have asked the Jerusalem District Court to throw out the criminal indictment against the premier, claiming law enforcement “invented” the corruption charges.
In their 200-page request, the prime minister’s lawyers allege that police investigators used illegitimate means to secure evidence, thus disqualifying the criminal charges, and asked the Jerusalem District Court to throw out the case.
