According to reports in News 13, Klein testified about buying a bracelet worth about $ 48,000 for Sarah Netanyahu, and about buying clothes for Netanyahu himself.

In light of the completeness of the investigation and the transfer of the materials to the defense, the prosecution announced that it would not object to the rejection of Hefetz's testimony, and the defendants' attorneys sought to reject his testimony to be impressed by the new investigation materials.
