Atty. De Hartoch to Be Tried for Attacking Public
Servant
By Yechiel Sever
Atty. Amnon De Hartoch, formerly head of support funding at
the Justice Ministry, will be held trial for attacking a
public servant. The decision was made by Commander Yochanan
Danino, head of the police's Department of Investigations and
Intelligence, who adopted the position of the Legal Charges
Department.
Three months ago De Hartoch slapped MK Rabbi Yaakov Cohen
across the face during an exchange that broke out between the
two in a corridor of the Knesset building. After the incident
MK Rabbi Cohen filed a police complaint for assault.
The case was handled by the Charges Department and due to the
nature of the offense the head of the Investigations
Department was authorized to initiate a criminal trial. The
case will now be transferred to the Jerusalem District
Charges Unit.
