Senior enforcement officials against Shin Bet chief: "Zini is dragging his feet"

Senior enforcement officials are attacking Shin Bet chief David Zini, accusing him of negligent conduct and delaying the investigation against aides of elected officials, while failing to transfer materials to the police.

Senior enforcement officials sharply attacked Shin Bet chief David Zini, accusing him of negligent conduct and delaying the investigation against aides of elected officials. According to them, Zini is not transferring to the police the materials and evidence required to advance the investigation, thereby disrupting it. The officials claimed that without proper authorizations, the police and Shin Bet become tools of the government for carrying out political liquidations. It was also alleged that the goal of the move is to incriminate Arab Knesset members. The article notes that tomorrow the joint Shin Bet-police team is expected to convene for the first time, but the damage has already been done, according to the officials. Meanwhile, questions arise about a gap between Zini's previous statements and the information transferred to the Central Elections Committee, which includes suspicion of massive bribery. The Attorney General met with Zini, and MK Ayman Odeh is not expected to be questioned soon due to the need for approval from the Elections Committee.
