(Worthy News) – Jerusalem District Court on Tuesday rejected Benjamin Netanyahu’s request to delay his corruption trial on the grounds that his defense team has not received all of the relevant material from the prosecution.
The trial will begin in the same court as scheduled on March 17. The prime minister, who is facing criminal charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, submitted his request on Sunday through his attorney Amit Hadad.
Hadad cited technical reasons for the request, claiming evidentiary material sought by the defense team months ago has still not been delivered to them. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
