News 12 Reveals Excessive Fee Collected by Prominent Lawyer Eliad Sharga
In a shocking revelation on the main edition of “News 12” yesterday, it was exposed that prominent attorney Eliad Sharga, chairman of the movement for the quality of government, collected an excessive fee of 1.5 million shekels from Keshet Yom. Sharga represented Yom in a lawsuit regarding the estate of her brother, Ariri, a disabled IDF soldier. The incident has sparked widespread controversy and discussion.
During a program on Radio 103FM, Guy Peleg, the journalist who broke the story, addressed the reactions to the report on the affair. Peleg expressed surprise at the strong reactions and emphasized the importance of transparency in reporting such stories. He clarified that the publication of the story was not influenced by any agenda or bias, stating that it was simply a matter of sharing important information with the public.
Peleg also shared that he was disappointed to receive negative reactions suggesting he had ulterior motives for publishing the story. He emphasized that the story was about bringing important information to light, regardless of the potential implications for Sharga’s career or the movement for the quality of government.
In response to the allegations, Sharga initially focused on explaining the high fees he demanded and were subsequently paid. However, Peleg claimed that Sharga then attempted to manipulate the situation by insinuating a connection between the publication of the story and his upcoming representation of the Movement for the Quality of Government in a significant High Court case regarding the impeachment of Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Peleg firmly denied any connection between the timing of the story and Sharga’s legal battles, asserting that the publication was solely intended to shed light on the serious allegations made by Sharga’s client and the statements of an arbitrator involved in the case. He condemned the attempt to deflect attention from the allegations by creating baseless claims of conspiracy.
The journalist concluded by questioning whether a potential connection between the timing of the story and Sharga’s enemies would invalidate the severity of the allegations against the lawyer. Peleg emphasized the importance of focusing on the substance of the claims and the statements made by the arbitrator.
This revelation has sparked a heated debate surrounding the ethical standards of lawyers and the need for transparency in legal practices. As the story continues to develop, further investigation and scrutiny will undoubtedly shed light on the truth behind this controversy.
