The National Fraud Unit concluded its investigation of alleged election tampering in the 2007 elections of the Labor chairman.
The 2007 chairmanship primaries saw Ehud Barak beat
Knesset Member Ami Ayalon.
Subsequent claims of election tampering, mostly in Labor's Arab sector, prompted Commander Yohanan Danino, head of the police's Investigations and Intelligence Unit, to launch an investigation into the allegations.
Head of the Labor Party's Election Committee, Retired Justice Amnon Straschnov, was said to have sent Danino a letter several days after the primaries, asking him to investigate whether ballots in four of Labor's voting stations were compromised.
The police investigation concluded that pollbooks in 10 voting station – eight in the northern districts and two in the Negev – were tampered with. The case file has been turned over to the State Prosecutor's Office.
