Former Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit testified yesterday in court during the Netanyahu trial and revealed new details about Case 1000, the gifts case in which Netanyahu is charged with fraud and breach of trust. Mandelblit said he authorized the investigation of the case following the testimony of Hadas Klein, which he said changed the way he looks at the prosecution's evidence. According to him, "It's not some receiving of a cigar or champagne or something sporadic; it's about the same issue of receiving gifts from wealthy individuals." Mandelblit added that he ordered a halt to contact with journalist Ben Caspit at an early stage of the affair. The defense attorney requested 8 additional days for cross-examination.
