Police chief, Knesset speaker meet over secret criminal dossier
Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich and Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein are meeting to discuss a recently leaked secret document compiled by Israel Police in 2014 including evidence regarding alleged offenses committed by dozens of Knesset members.
The head of the Police Investigations and Intelligence Department, Meni Yitzhaki, is also taking part in the meeting.
The document, reportedly drawn up on Yitzhaki’s instruction, is said to include information on alleged corruption cases and other crimes which could form the basis for criminal investigations. It was first revealed by Channel 10 news on Monday.
Edelstein wrote a letter to Alsheich on Tuesday requesting the meeting.
