the police will now hold a criminal investigation into the actions that led to the unauthorized building in Shiloh, which the civil administration is in the process of legalizing. It is unclear who the police will investigate.
Attorney Akiva Sylvetzky of Jerusalem, who represents Shiloh and its regional governing body, the Binyamin Regional Council, said the investigation was purely technical and designed to close the door on any allegations of illegality. To do this, he said, the police must first study the matter.
“It would be irrational for the state to press charges for illegal building when that building is being legalized,” he said.
The state has already said it intends to authorize the homes, he said. Plans to do so are in an advanced stage, Sylvetzky added.
He plans to ask the court to close the case and acquit his clients of any wrongdoing.
It's a continuation from last November, as I blogged then.
If it took him three months to decide, imagine where this is going.
