It has now become clear that on Monday, an 'escalation' took place in the complex case.

 

The International Investigation Unit of the National Police Squad sent investigators to the president's home in Jerusalem and took away documents and computers, as part of an ongoing investigation.

 

Police officials said in response that they "could not comment on the investigation."

 

The investigation team will likely arrive at the President's Residence and hear his version of events.

In Ramle, A, the female employee accusing the president, was questioned in a police station.
