  • More alarming, the Ynet report cit ed CDU Member of Bundestag Roderich Kiesewetter - that under no circumstances would the deal be called off by the German government!

Such statement by Kiesewetter appears to contradict the OECD Anti Bribery Convention, the UN Anti corruption Convention, and German Federal Law.

Following the Ynet publication, former PM Ehud Barak posted a Twitter note to AG Mandelblit: [vi]

Mandelblit, wake up! Immediately investigate Netanyahu for breach of trust" Do not collude in treason and cover-up!

Needless to emphasize the seriousness of such accusations by a former PM against an AG and a PM now in office!

THEREFORE:

  • We are calling upon he Hon Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Hon Justice and Consumer Protection Minister Katarina Barley to e n sure that Thyssenkrupp is vigorously investigated relative to the Israeli submarine deal, in compl iance with the OECD Convention against Bribery, United Nations Convention against Corruption, and German Federal Law .

  • W e are c all ing upon the Hon Chancellor Angela Merkel and the Hon Justice and Consumer Protection Minister Katarina Barley to take into consideration the outcome of the Israel Police investigation , particularly pertaining to a) State witness, Miki Ganor -- the Thyssenkrupp middleman, and b) Netanyahu's relative and personal counsel David Shimron - who at times also acted in official capacities, with or without lawful authority . Therefore, pursuant to the OECD Anti bribery Convention, the 2017 "no corruption" provision should be acted upon, and the Thyssenkrupp submarine deal with Israel should be immediately suspended .
