The Tel Aviv District Attorney’s Office informed the attorneys of Gil Shaffer, former Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Chief of Staff, that the investigation file against him had been closed.

“After examining the evidence in the case in a thorough and thorough manner, it was decided to close the case against Sheffer for lack of sufficient evidence.”

Schaefer was questioned after complaints of wrongdoing were filed against him, while the police tried to connect him to the affairs in which the prime minister’s name was linked as well as enlisting him as a state witness in a row with Ari Haro, who was also head of the PM’s bureau.

Shaffer’s associates made it clear that from the outset they claimed that the complaint against him was intended solely to pressure Shaffer to testify against the prime minister and that it was clear in advance that the case against him would be closed.

It should be mentioned that only at the beginning of the year did the police make it clear that there was an evidentiary basis for bringing Sheffer to trial, after he was summoned for questioning dozens of times at the headquarters of Israel Police’s Lahav 433 unit.
