State Witness Deal with Shlomo Filber in Netanyahu Trial Nullified
The nullification of the agreement with key witness Shlomo Filber marks a pivotal turn in the Netanyahu trial, potentially altering its course.
- Israel's State Prosecutor's Office announced plans to cancel the state witness agreement with Shlomo Filber, a key witness in the Netanyahu trial.
- The decision comes after Filber failed to meet the terms of the agreement by retracting several assertions he had previously made.
- Filber's actions have led to prosecutors requesting the court to declare him a hostile witness, indicating a significant shift in the trial's dynamics.
- The nullification of Filber's agreement could have far-reaching implications for the media bribery and fraud case against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Filber may face prosecution subject to a pre-indictment hearing, as the prosecution considers charging him for failing to cooperate sufficiently.
