High Court Spokesman: There is no justification for a criminal investigation into the leak of the recordings from the 4000 case

Mandelblit informed the court that he would not open an investigation into the leak of the Elowitz couple's recordings, which were broadcast on the "Makor" program, despite President Hayut's recommendation.

According to him, more than 250 were accessible to the materials and 150 even dealt with them directly, and therefore: "This is an extensive investigation that has a low chance of yielding a result."

Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit informed the High Court yesterday that he will not open an investigation into the leak of the recordings of the couple Elowitz and the CEO of Walla!

Former NEWS, Ilan Yeshua, broadcast on the "Hamakor" program.

This is despite the fact that the president of the Supreme Court, Esther Hayut, recommended at least two weeks ago to open a criminal investigation into the matter.

The court will now be required to decide whether to force the ombudsman to order an investigation or an investigation anyway.

The former Bezeq owners accused in the 4000 case (Bezeq-Walla case) demanded that the leak be investigated. In the petition they submitted to the High Court, "D. Jack Chen and Michal Rosen helps, because the leak violates the defendants in the case and the Court Gives town square." According to them, the decision not to investigate, or at least make a preliminary examination, it is patently unreasonable.

during the discussion, the President said that the leaks type animals This has become a widespread phenomenon, which indeed causes damage to the defendants, adding when she turned to the state representative: “There is a difficulty with the fact that your decision is to do nothing.

If you were to say that you did a test, such as checking someone who was a candidate for a leak - something that indicates an attempt to check, and not saying outright that 'there is no point in the test'.

With the situation where we do nothing, we have a hard time, and our proposal is that you consider conducting a preliminary investigation regarding the recordings. "

The ombudsman responded last night - and rejected the proposal. In response, it was said after an investigation that it became clear that more than 250 people in the police, the State Attorney's Office and the Securities Authority had access to the recordings and 150 of them even dealt with them directly. "

During the hearing two weeks ago, the defense argued that there is a high probability that the leak is salvation itself, which is expected to be the first prosecution witness in the trial. As for the possibility of interrogating only him." , Mandelblit replied that he did not see any justification for investigating him, nor the hundreds of other workers who had access to the recordings.

The counselor even hinted that the request to interrogate Salvation might be an attempt to influence his impending testimony.

"The possibility of abuse should, God forbid, be initiated in the opening of investigative proceedings regarding alleged leaks, without a suitable basis, as an indirect means of influencing criminal law," the state's response said.

It was also noted that in recent years many investigative materials from the "Alpine files" have been published in the media, and there is no justification for investigating this particular leak and precisely salvation, when many of the materials published in the media were in his possession.

The state's response also refers to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defense attorneys' request to investigate Salvation.

The application was accompanied by a memorandum from the investigation materials, from which it appears that Nir Hefetz told his investigators that the journalist Ilana Dayan told him that salvation was the source of the "source" journalist Baruch Kara.

However, the state's response stated that the same memorandum is from October 2018, and refers in general to another program of the "source", and not to the program in which the recordings were broadcast in June 2020.
