Police seek to enlist Netanyahu confidant as state witness — report
Police reportedly offer attorney David Shimron, a longtime close adviser and attorney to Prime Minister Netanyahu, to turn state’s witness in Case 3000, the investigation into suspected corruption in the purchase of military submarines from a German company.
According to the Hadashot news (formerly Channel 2), Shimron has so far resisted the offer, which police put on the table in the hope that he could implicate “very senior” figures.
Netanyahu, who is also Shimron’s cousin, has not been named as a suspect in the case.
