Shin Bet: Agents met with Pearlman, no coercion attempted
None
The Shin Bet confirmed that security personnel recently met with radical right-wing activist Haim Pearlman several times. Pearlman was arrested on Tuesday on suspicion of involvement in multiple nationalistic-motivated offences including the murder of Arabs.
"All the actions were meant to serve as a basis for his interrogation. Any claim suggesting the Shin Bet tried to coerce Pearlman is completely groundless," it was stated. Pearlman claimed on Wednesday that he was being framed and was paid to confess to the allegations against him. (Hanan Greenberg)
