Prosecutors ask to retain a copy of the data on the phones of two top aides to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — his spokesman and campaign manager Ofer Golan and Likud spokesman Jonathan Urich — in a witness-harassment investigation against the two.

Golan and Urich are believed to be behind a van that was parked outside the home of former Communications Ministry director general Shlomo Filber that blasted accusations on a loudspeaker saying that his testimony as a state’s witness in the Case 4000 corruption probe into Netanyahu was false.

The prosecutors ask a court today to hand over as evidence in the case all correspondence contained in the phones from August 28 to 30 that might have bearing on the case.
