The Lavi Association for Proper Administration filed a petition with the Supreme Court against the attorney general and the state prosecutor, asking that the court order them to respond to the association's demand to open a criminal investigation against Member of Knesset Yair Lapid on suspicion of bribery and other offenses.
The association says the two officials have not responded to their demand to investigate Lapid's meetings with Yediot Ahronot newspaper publisher Arnon Mozes in 2014, when Lapid was Finance Minister, without these meetings being recorded in his diary. The petition alleges that the Lapid and Mozes discussed the newspaper's coverage of Lapid at the time Lapid's Yesh Atid Party supported and promoted a law intended to benefit Yediot Ahronot.
