Chief prosecutor Amit Aisman cleared to oversee Sde Teiman leak investigation, High Court rules
Police reported in February that they had completed their investigative work, although the majority assumed for the purposes of the ruling that the investigation itself had not formally concluded.
The High Court of Justice has ruled that Israel's chief prosecutor, Amit Aisman, may oversee the investigation into leaked footage from the Sde Teiman detention facility and the alleged cover-up. The court ruled 2-1 that there was no basis to overturn an updated opinion by Justice Ministry legal adviser Yael Kotik, finding that Aisman was no longer barred from the criminal case.
