Report: PM tried to move his testimony in graft trial to a location that isn’t a court
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s aides have unsuccessfully tried to move the premier’s testimony in his corruption trial to a place that isn’t a court, Channel 13 news reports.
The outlet quotes an unnamed source familiar with the details as asserting that Netanyahu is trying to avoid being photographed taking the stand.
The report says the testimony will likely take place at the Tel Aviv District Court.
The trial is being overseen by the Jerusalem District Court, which doesn’t have a safe room, complicating security arrangements for the testimony, which will start December 10 and is expected to last several weeks.
