Speaking of the corruption case that has erupted against Yisrael Beytenu's top brass, Attorney-General Yehuda Weinstein dismissed party chairman Avigdor Liberman's claims that the investigation is to hurt them at the polls as being 'nonsense'.

"I approved this investigation, and have been following it closely, and I have recently heard accusations against the prosecution and the police that the investigation was mounted in order to influence and interfere in the upcoming elections," Weinstein said.

"Nothing could be further from the truth. It would have been better had he not said it," he added.
