State Prosecutor Moshe Lador?s comment "?..this proceeding is part of routine procedure when in comes to cases like this?.," "This case deals with suspicions against a presiding prime minister. It was only right that I sit in on the hearing. There`s no need to make too much of it," furthermore Lador said "This is an investigation in which any assumption by the public would be incorrect and unsubstantiated, In recent days, inaccurate information has been reported and it is misleading the public. It`s a shame."
Now on top of everything police spokesperson Superintendent Iris Barak stated "?.I think that publicizing the details of the allegations, which are undoubtedly very serious, on the eve of the Memorial Day, would harm the public interest,?.." Versus Chief Superintendent Hagai Ben-Arieh, representing the police, said that the public debate could wait, whereas an investigation led astray could not be rectified.
So far a strange public performance in Jerusalem District court who later decided as unofficially translated ??.With the agreement of the state and after the respondents` attorneys left the decision to the discretion of the court, we direct that at this stage, it may be published that a request has been filed to depose a foreign national?." This after consultations also after having been officially informed of several details about the person?s concern had been published in the New York post. (with Jerusalem registered phone lines) This caused the court to allow the publication ??A material witness order was issued in the Police National Fraud Unit`s investigation against Prime Minister Ehud Olmert...?
Apparently Olmert?s personal lawyer agreed to this despite the fact that Olmert?s basic rights as a citizen to fence off this accusations / speculations published facts were curtailed to what the police spokesperson said that publication of details ??on the eve of the Memorial Day, would harm the public interest?? ? The public interest was intended to be safeguarded by the Basic Law?.! It would be interesting to have a High Court judgment concerning this gag order which remains enforced until Sunday after Memorial Independence Day as citizen Ehud Olmert and all other Israelis are discriminated by Israel?s servant of law partially upon agreement. |
