State Comptroller Matanyahu Engelman on Monday turned down Justice Minister Amir Ohana’s request for a wide-ranging probe of the State Prosecutor’s Office.
In a letter to Ohana, Engelman wrote that there was “no reason to deviate from the work plan that was determined regarding the prosecutor’s office” and that the State Comptroller’s Office would continue its work in accordance with this plan.
“With this, the issues you raised will be brought to the attention of the relevant division,” Engelman said.
The letter did not mention Ohana’s request to probe Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit over his role in the Harpaz Affair, which he was previously investigated over, but never charged.
