| [IsraelTimes] A high-level Qatari government office reportedly paid a private intelligence firm to uncover information that would discredit a woman who accused International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan of sexual abuse. The London-based Highgate firm was also tasked with linking the woman to Israel, although no such information was uncovered, the Guardian reported. Khan issued arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant last year. Highgate and a smaller firm called Elicius Intelligence did obtain significant private information about Khan’s alleged victim and her family, the Guardian said. Khan stepped aside in May pending an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, which he has categorically denied. A United Nations investigation is underway, and Khan has since been accused of retaliating against staff who supported his accuser, including demoting several people he felt were critical of him.
