Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was present in the courtroom and left before the testimony of former Walla! Ilan Yeshua CEO. Noni Mozes and Shaul Alovich are also present
.
Big and small.
Rich as poor.
Honorable as simple, "said Ben-Ari, who referred in her speech to all the charges and the main points of evidence that the prosecution intends to use."
These things are rooted in the State of Israel, and are part of the legal-democratic heritage of the state.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that a minister has been tried first and foremost in Israel for ministers.
"" The case before the Honorable Court today is a significant and serious case in the field of government corruption.
Defendant 1 is the Prime Minister of Israel who, according to the indictment, made improper use of the great governmental power entrusted to him, inter alia, to demand and derive improper benefits from owners of major media outlets in Israel, in order to advance his personal affairs.
Defendants 4-2 are key and significant businessmen in the Israeli economy who controlled the media, "she added.
Highlights of Ben Ari's speech:
"The Prime Minister made improper use of the great power entrusted to his hands"
"The defendant trafficked his governmental power in front of businessmen who hold media"
"The evidence in the 2000 case is exceptional and constitutes direct documentation of the acceptance of a bribe offer"
"We will represent the public interest, which has been harmed by government corruption, and will act to do justice"
According to estimates, the evidentiary phase in the Alpine cases may take about two years, even though the judges ruled that the hearings will take place with a particularly high frequency - three times a week.
The list of prosecution witnesses has about 330 witnesses, but it is estimated that for a large part of them the prosecution and the defense will agree to submit their testimony to the police, without putting them on the witness stand.
This is an accepted procedure that happens in almost every case, and certainly in cases of this magnitude.
