AG will Not Appeal FM Liberman's Acquittal

The Attorney General, Yehuda Weinstein, has decided not to appeal Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman's acquittal.

Liberman was unanimously acquitted on November 6, after being hounded for 17 years on various charges.

Unexpectedly, Weinstein had decided to go after Liberman on a weaker charge of breach of public trust, rather than what seemed to be the more significant criminal charges against him. That plan apparently backfired, now leaving Liberman in the free and clear.
