The judge overseeing the case partially lifts the gag order on details of an investigation being carried out by the Shin Bet and the Justice Ministry’s Department of Internal Police Investigations.
A reservist Shin Bet official is being investigated for leaks of classified information to journalists and politicians about an investigation into “Kahanism” taking root among the police, according to Army Radio.
The court doesn’t allow the media to report on the names of the Shin Bet official or those who received the leaks.
The official served in the organization for over 25 years, says Channel 12, and returned to serve after the October 7, 2023, Hamas onslaught.
The court says it lifted the gag order due to false rumors that were circulating.
The official was arrested and kept from seeing a lawyer, an order that has since been lifted.
The broad contours of the case were announced yesterday, but details were restricted under a sweeping gag order.
