Police Appeal Ruling Letting Netanyahu Aide Travel as 'Bibileaks' Suspicions Grow

Investigators say Tzachi Braverman’s departure could hinder planned questioning.

Overview

  • A magistrate judge on February 11 lifted restrictive orders, allowing Braverman to travel to his proposed post in Britain and to contact the prime minister.
  • Israel Police filed an appeal on February 12 against the decision permitting his travel for the ambassadorial appointment.
  • Police reported heightened suspicions regarding a clandestine meeting between Braverman and a prime suspect in the Bibileaks probe.
  • Investigators plan to question Braverman again and are awaiting a district court ruling on access to raw interview materials from Eli Feldstein.
  • Police argue his departure would complicate further investigative actions, while his attorney says there is no basis to delay travel and labels the effort an attempt to block the appointment.
