Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara informs Justice Minister Yariv Levin that his decision to appoint State Ombudsman for Judges Asher Kula as the official responsible for the criminal investigation into the leak of the Sde Teiman abuse video constitutes a misuse of authority, Hebrew media reports.

In a letter sent by her deputy, Gil Limon, says the choice “undermines the purity of the criminal process, and contributes to unnecessary delay in completing the investigation as soon as possible.”

Levin dismisses the letter in a reply, saying he “outright rejects everything it said.”
