Interior Minister Aryeh Deri’s communications advisor, Barak Seri, told Army Radio on Wednesday regarding the investigation in Deri that “It is not an investigation, but rather an examination. I recommend that everyone wait.”
According to Seri, Deri “Seemed serene. He is prepared to be examined and to answer every question. A lot can be said about him, but stupid is not one of them. Deri is careful; he knows he is under a magnifying class, and that there are many people who would be happy to see him fall.”
