Court administration: Do not object to the exposure of the materials from Effie Naveh's phone

The court administration said on Friday that it does not object to the disclosure of the materials found on the mobile phone of former attorney Baron Efi Naveh, following various publications in recent days regarding Naveh and a senior judge's correspondence.

"In recent days, we have witnessed various publications on recordings and correspondence that Naveh allegedly had with ministers, politicians, judges and journalists about three years ago," said a statement from the court administration spokeswoman, "the judiciary, for its part, does not seek to cover anything and has no objection to the material being disclosed, To end the irresponsible campaign of irresponsibility against Israeli judges as a whole who do their work with dedication, professionalism and faith. "

In January 2019, Naveh was questioned on a suspicion of acting for the appointment and promotion of judges in exchange for sexual bribery, following which he resigned as head of the Bar Association. At the conclusion of the investigation, the police announced that an evidentiary foundation had been formulated against him and against Justice Esther Crief for committing crimes of purity, and in December 2019, the prosecution announced its decision to prosecute Naveh and Crief on a bribery charge, subject to a hearing.
