The Leipzig public prosecutor's office sees no reason for new investigations in the Gil Ofarim case. There is "no reason to pursue mere repetitions of assumptions and insinuations of alleged manipulation of recordings that are ultimately not relevant to the proceedings", said senior public prosecutor Ricardo Schulz, spokesman for the public prosecutor's office, in response to an inquiry from the German Press Agency.
The background to this are statements made by the singer, who last Friday, as a participant in the RTL jungle camp, pointed out alleged inconsistencies and possible manipulation of a video recording. The musician made headlines in 2021 when he portrayed himself on Instagram as the victim of anti-Semitic remarks made by a Leipzig hotel employee. These accusations later turned out to be false. Ofarim retracted his account in a defamation case against him and apologized.
