Senior Shin Bet officials criticize legal advisers over Knesset member investigation handling

Senior Shin Bet officials have sharply criticized legal advisers regarding investigations involving Knesset members, stating that authorities treat even distant relatives of MKs as protected from arrest. "When they talk about investigating members of the Knesset, as far as they're concerned, even the nephew of an MK's cousin is considered an MK. Anyone who might incriminate a member of the Knesset," the officials said. They added that police have refused to arrest anyone so far, questioning how the truth can be uncovered in such a serious matter under these circumstances.
