State witness’s attorney: Justice minister’s disclosure ‘shameful’

State witness Nir Hefetz’s attorney attacks Justice Minister Amir Ohana for revealing details of his client’s investigation that were under gag order.

“It’s shameful and disgraceful for a justice minister to run roughshod over the law and scorn an explicit gag order by the courts, from the Knesset podium,” Ilan Sofer says.

He calls the minister’s actions “a shameful attempt to score political points while seriously harming [Hefetz’s] privacy” and says it “will not go unanswered.”
