Suspicion: Likud Submitted False Affidavit to High Court on State Comptroller Issue

The Attorney General ordered the police to investigate suspicions of a false affidavit submitted by Likud to the High Court, after MK Sharren Haskel claimed that Likud members were required to photograph their vote for State Comptroller, contradicting Likud's affidavits that claimed otherwise.

Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara and State Attorney Amit Isman ordered the police to investigate suspicions of a false affidavit submitted by Likud to the High Court. The suspicion concerns the claim by MK Sharren Haskel that Likud members were required to photograph themselves while voting for the State Comptroller, contradicting Likud's affidavits that stated no such instruction was given. Haskel submitted a supplementary affidavit to the High Court claiming the photos were forwarded to the Prime Minister. The police may take an open testimony from Haskel before deciding whether to open a criminal investigation. The affair concerns the election of attorney Michael Ravilo as State Comptroller, which was invalidated by the High Court due to a violation of voting secrecy.
