Uri Messer: I'm not connected to Holyland, my arrest was in vain
None
Attorney Uri Messer spoke for the first time about the Holyland affair in which he is suspected of bribery. "I feel good," he said. "I want to say that I am not connected to the affair in any way. Regarding other issues connected to my work, I acted professionally."
During an Israel Bar Association conference, the former Ehud Olmert associate added, "My arrest was unnecessary, in vain. I think this sets a dangerous precedent for all lawyers and I have not spoken and will not speak about the interrogation itself of course. We intend to submit a civil claim against the state witness soon." (Aviad Glickman)
