Prosecutors conducting ‘in-depth review’ of phone hacking claim in Netanyahu trial
The state prosecution says it is carrying out “an in-depth review” into media reports that phone hacking was used by police without approval in Benjamin Netanyahu’s criminal cases.
The prosecution has updated the attorneys of defendants in the cases on the inquiry.
Yesterday’s report claimed that cops hacked the phone of a key person involved in the cases against the former prime minister and extracted a large amount of data.
According to Channel 12, the person may have been Shlomo Filber, a former director-general of the Communications Ministry and longtime confidant of Netanyahu and a state’s witness in Case 4000.
