Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein on Thursday demanded answers from Maj. Gen. Mani Yitzhaki, head of the Police Investigations Department, as to why an indictment on a two-year-old case against Otzma Yehudit candidate Baruch Marzel was filed a week before elections.
Weinstein pressed Yitzhaki to explain what were the considerations that led to submitting the indictment on such an old case at such suspect timing given the proximity to elections, and who was the police source who decided to file the indictment, reports Walla!.
Police claimed on Wednesday that the indictment was filed "innocently," but admitted that the timing required an investigation. A check quickly revealed the decision had been made at the junior level of the police, indicating that the senior rank of police were in the dark about the move.
"If the senior leadership had known that an indictment would be submitted adjacent to the elections, certainly a decision like this would not have been made," a police source told the news site. "This is a decision that fell through the cracks, but it was all innocent."
Marzel responded to Weinstein's investigation into the suspicious indictment, writing on Facebook "even the attorney general understands that this is harassment against me."
"It won't help the left, in the coming Knesset I will be there and I will make order there!" vowed the Otzma Yehudit candidate, who is number four on the Yachad - Ha'am Itanu joint list.
The indictment deals with an incident in Marzel's hometown of Hevron from February 2013, in which he allegedly struck an Arab resident during a confrontation.
Marzel's lawyer, Attorney Itamar Ben-Gvir, wrote Weinstein on Wednesday seeking answers over the indictment that "stinks of election tampering."
"Why did they not wait with this?” Ben-Gvir asked Weinstein. “Was this such an important indictment that it could not wait a week, until after the elections? And if so, why was it not filed a year ago? Whoever decided on the timing of this has made a very strange decision."

Otzma Yehudit member and Yachad-Ha'am Itanu candidate Baruch Marzel attended an election conference in Maale Adumim Saturday night, where he addressed the struggle for votes among parties belonging to the right-wing bloc.
According to Marzel, the dilemma for real right-wing voters is between Jewish Home and Yachad, whereby he called on constituents to choose Yachad.
"We all want to see Orit Struk in the Knesset," Marzel said, referencing the current MK who is now number 13 on Jewish Home's list.
"But I realized that Anat Roth is number 14 on Jewish Home's list. I know she had a personal upheaval and abandoned the Left to come to the Right, but the main question, with all due respect, is not one of a personal nature."
"It's not even half a mandate or even less to Jewish Home, but the real question is if Yachad will be hurt and four mandates will be missing to forming a right-wing government," Marzel opined.
"If so," he warned, "we will crown Buji [Labor leader Yitzhak Herzog] as prime minister."
Marzel also addressed how his presence in the Knesset would affect the entire parliamentary body, particularly Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett and Jewish Home MK Ayelet Shaked.
"My entrance to the Knesset will drag the entire Knesset rightward. It will drag Bennett and Shaked, and also the Likud to better places, and Jewish Home would have considerably more leeway."
More importantly, Marzel summed up, was that "from the perspective of the media, I will be the 'extreme Right' and Bennett and Shaked will be able to release themselves from this image."
"Therefore, for everyone in the land of Israel who finds a right-wing governance important, today, according to all the polls, must ensure Yachad's entrance into the Knesset."
"Although all the surveys have given Yachad between four and five mandates, that could collapse [on election day] and cause the establishment of a leftist government - Netanyahu will not form the government, and Bennett will serve as the Chairman of the State's Criticism Committee from the Opposition," Marzel warned.

Marzel: Without Yachad Bennett Will Be in the Opposition
Yachad candidate, Baruch Marzel, said on Saturday night that “Without Yachad, Netanyahu will not be Prime Minister and Bennett can at most serve as head of the Chairman of the State Comptroller’s Committee on behalf of the opposition.”
According to Marzel, “My entry into the Knesset will shift the entire Knesset to the right, dragging along Bennett, Shaked and even the Likud to better places, and will give the Jewish Home greater freedom of action.”
