Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit sent a personal response to a letter from MK Bezalel Samotrich, who claimed that a police officer or the State Prosecutor's Office leaked a document concerning him, claiming that it was an attempt to fabricate a case against him.
In his response to Smotrich, the legal advisor noted, "This is a document that was included in the investigation material in the case in which it was seized, and which was transferred to all the defense attorneys in the case. Moreover, the document was presented and treated in the framework of the legal process relating to the case, which is conducted in open session. So many people were exposed to it. This, therefore, negates any reason for opening an investigation as requested in your letter. "
