Police still hoping to recruit former PM spokesman Nir Hefetz as state witness
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA police source tells Hadashot news that officials are continuing efforts to recruit former spokesman for the Netanyahu family Nir Hefetz as a state witness.
Police reportedly believe Hefetz could be an asset that would provide valuable information in the four criminal cases involving the prime minister.
Hefetz is a suspect in Case 4000, which involves the alleged bribery of Shaul Elovitch, the owner of the Walla news website and the controlling shareholder of Israel’s largest telecom company Bezeq.
He is also a suspect in Case 1270, in which he allegedly offered in 2015 to have judge Hila Gerstel appointed attorney general if she agreed to halt an investigation into the prime minister’s wife, Sara.
