Police Find Evidence for Cabinet Secretary Violations
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
According to a report in Globes by investigative
reporter Yoav Yitzhak, police investigating the activities
of One Israel in the past elections have evidence indicating
criminal acts by Yitzchok Herzog, currently the Cabinet
Secretary of prime minister Barak. It is not yet known
whether the evidence is sufficient to support an indictment.
Herzog raised millions of dollars for Prime Minister Ehud
Barak's election campaign in 1999.
The material was given to the State Attorney's office and
also to Attorney General Elyakim Rubinstein to enable them
to answer a petition to the High Court of Justice against
Herzog's continuing to serve in view of his refusal to
answer police questions when called in recently.
The investigative material was at the same time presented to
civil service commissioner Shmuel Hollander, who was to
receive it from the State Attorney's office, in order to
decide whether he should suspend Herzog from his post.
