Texts to AG included death threats, photo in Nazi uniform

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has filed a complaint with police over threatening and harassing messages received on his mobile phone throughout the night and morning.

In a statement the Justice Ministry says the messages appeared to be part of an organized campaign.

Channel 12 reportsthe  harassing texts included photos of Mandelblit in Nazi uniform and death threats and harassing messages such as “Die” and “We’ll get to you and your children,” “Kill yourself,” “You and your family should die,” “Don’t forget you’re vulnerable” and “Bastard.”

Officials believe the dozens of messages, sent from unidentified numbers, may be tied to a protest schedule to take place near his home in Petah Tikva against his decision to press charges against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in three criminal cases.
