Law enforcement said to have covered up conflicts of interest in Netanyahu probe
(Worthy News) – Senior law enforcement officials have filed a complaint with the state comptroller in recent days alleging that senior police officers and the state prosecutor engaged in a wide-spread cover-up of a serious conflict of interest by one of the investigators into Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, Sara, in order not to derail the corruption investigations into the premier, Channel 12 reported Monday.
Netanyahu reacted to the report, calling it “shocking” and an “atom bomb” that proved the corruption cases against him was a conspiracy. Senior Likud officials called for an investigation into the charges.
The officials allege that Superintendent Avi Rotenberg, the chief investigator into the allegations Sara Netanyahu misspent public funds for her personal benefit, did not disclose to his superiors in 2016 that he was in an extramarital relationship with Judy Nir-Mozes, the sister of Yedioth Ahronoth publisher Arnon Mozes who has since been charged, together with the prime minister, in the so-called Case 2000.
