Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit announced that he was officially pursuing the conviction of English party leader Arye Deri for several counts of tax fraud, subject to a preliminary hearing, but not the charges. more bribery from the outset.Post Jerusalem It was first reported in November that Mandelblit had moved to replace Deri ahead of the March 23 elections and that the charges were likely to be reduced from bribery to tax fraud. Deri does not have to resign as interior minister until a final decision is made. until after elections and maybe even more than six months from now. “After more than five years of rigorous investigation, I thank the Creator of the Universe for the decision to dismiss all false accusations on my behalf and I am convinced at the hearing that it will be decided. also close the case regarding tax crimes, after giving all the facts to the attorney general, “he tweeted Deri in response to the decision. “I intend to continue to focus on the roles of Minister of the Interior and concern for the vulnerable who need help, especially at the time of coronavirus and the preservation of the state’s Jewish identity.” Nearly three years, the police suggested appearing.Deri Interior Minister was in November 2018.

But times were not normal. In August 2019, the country was in the midst of several rounds of elections that resulted in a government only last May. May 2020, the whole world was seized by the coronavirus crisis which has enabled the Ministry of Justice to focus on others. But with all these credentials, Mandelblit acknowledged in November that Deri ‘s case should have been decided earlier and added that it could well be decided. fast, perhaps in the coming weeks or months, which became less than two months Later. He was also aware in November that a new round of elections could be around the corner and that it would be controversial to postpone Deri ‘s decision in the middle of a new election season. One source of delay that may not be as well known to the public is that the case itself has improved almost from the 2018 police recommendation. Most of the aggravated bribery charges have not been investigated, and he entered into a not-so-serious, though still a criminal, tax fraud case. Parts of the tax fraud case were only recently discovered in mid-2019 and this necessitated the introduction of new experts into the case to investigate.
