Court: Transcript Presented by Attorney Hadad Does Not Document Conversation with Ben Caspit

In depth

The Jerusalem District Court accepted the prosecution's position and ruled that the conversation transcript presented by Netanyahu's attorney to former Israel Export Institute head Erran Kaminer is not the correct transcript, and does not document the conversation between him and journalist Ben Caspit.

According to Maariv, the judges rejected the request of Netanyahu's attorneys and ruled that the conversation was between other parties, and that the meeting itself is not related to the suspicions in the indictment.

According to The Seventh Eye, attorney Amit Hadad presented a senior police investigator, who testified in the trial, with a document and claimed it was a record of a meeting between himself and Caspit. The prime minister's defense attorney sought to prove through it that the police investigation was conducted improperly, but the document does not describe the meeting between the two at all.
