The person who is completely absent from the indictment and from the list of prosecution witnesses is Rani Basha, the intelligence officer at Gilboa Prison, who is suspected of being involved and even knew about what was happening within the prison walls - but the case against him was closed for lack of evidence.

With the revelation of the affair in June 2018 it was reported that the officer allegedly sought to place wardens in the security wing in accordance with the prisoner’s requests.

During his interrogation at the National Prison Investigation Unit, the intelligence officer admitted that he had specifically asked certain wardens for the wing since Atallah had pierced the oil.

The prosecution decided to close the case against the intelligence officer after believing that "the mental element cannot be proven with criminal intent."

The IPS conducted a disciplinary trial for the intelligence officer and returned him to work in the organization after a year and a half suspension. The three guards who were expelled from the IPS during the revelation of the affair remained out of the system and claimed that no IPS officer had contacted them to date.
