Police to say there’s enough evidence to indict former MAG over Sde Teiman leak affair — report

Police are set to determine that there is enough evidence to indict former military advocate general Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi for her alleged role in covering up the leak of a video from the Sde Teiman detention facility purportedly showing the abuse of a Palestinian detainee, Haaretz reports.

Tomer-Yerushalmi admitted to leaking the video earlier this year and resigned from her post.

The investigation into the affair has found that there is evidence to charge Tomer-Yerushalmi with transferring official information, obstruction of justice, abuse of office, and fraud and breach of trust, according to the report.

There is also enough evidence to indict former deputy military attorney general Gal Asael over the video leak affair, in addition to former chief military prosecutor Matan Solomesh and other officers in the Military Advocate General’s Office.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara has reportedly not been questioned or investigated over the affair.

Baharav-Miara had ultimate authority over an internal probe by the Military Advocate General’s Office into the leak, and accepted its recommendations not to open a criminal investigation into the affair.
