The investigation of Ne’eman resulted from allegations made by Martin Brown, an Israeli citizen who resides in England.
Brown claimed that in 1991, Ne’eman tried to convince him not to cooperate with the police investigation of Deri.
Attorney General Michael Ben-Yair decided not to get involved in deciding whether or not to indict Ne’eman, ministry sources said, because Ne’eman had accused Ben-Yair of pursuing the criminal investigation against him for personal and political reasons.
