MK Sharan Haskel's testimony at the Lahav 433 police unit in the State Comptroller election scandal lasted about an hour and a half, according to Amit Segal (N12).
MK Sharan Haskel's testimony at the Lahav 433 police unit on Sunday lasted about 90 minutes, according to Amit Segal (N12). The testimony is part of a criminal investigation into the State Comptroller election, which Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara initiated at her own initiative, as The Zioneer reported earlier today.
On Thursday, July 30, reports emerged that Haskel had been summoned to Lahav 433 after she alleged that members of the New Hope faction were required to video-record their vote for State Comptroller and present the footage to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. That same day, multiple news outlets reported that the Attorney General had launched a criminal investigation into the election process. Haskel's scheduled testimony was first reported by Channel 12's Daphna Liel on Thursday.
Earlier Sunday morning, at 10:28 Jerusalem time, The Zioneer reported that Haskel had arrived at Lahav 433 to give testimony. The session has now concluded, with the duration confirmed by Segal.
Details of the testimony itself have not been disclosed, and it remains unclear whether the investigation will lead to further legal steps or additional testimonies.
