Two people questioned by police in connection with death threats sent to AG

Two people are being questioned under caution by police at this time, on suspicion of connection to threats made against Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit.

Dozens of messages sent to Mandelblit’s phone in recent days included death threats against him and his family.

Yesterday he filed a police complaint in the matter.

A statement from the Justice Ministry said Mandelblit provided testimony to police investigators and that the messages appeared to be part of an organized campaign.
