(8.2.2018) Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich said earlier this week on “Uvda” (“Fact”), Channel 2’s current affairs program, that powerful figures had gathered information about police investigating Netayahu’s actions. After the broadcast Netanyahu lashed out against Alsheich, calling his claims “delusional” and “deceitful,” saying they must be investigated immediately.

The sources told Haaretz that Alsheich told Attorney General Avichai Mendelblit and State Prosecutor Shay Nitzan about a year ago that private investigators had been checking up on senior police officers in the investigations division.
