Shlomo Filber, the former state's witness, breaks his silence in a dramatic interview on the program "Conversation with Oded Harush" on Channel 14. Filber describes his arrest nine years ago by Lahav 433 detectives and claims that during his interrogation at the Hadarim prison, an illegal rectal exam was performed on him against the law, which he defines as sexual harassment. According to him, the investigators' goal was to humiliate him and break his spirit so he would provide testimony against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Filber claims that since the right-wing victory in the 2015 elections, Netanyahu's political opponents switched to "Plan B" – incriminating Netanyahu through investigations. He says he is dealing with severe post-trauma and has filed a lawsuit against the state. The full interview will air on Saturday night.
