Police are in “daily” contact with the influencer who exposed the Sydney nurses seen threatening harm to Israeli patients in a video.

Superintendent Darren Newman provided an update on the investigation today and said NSW Police officers are regularly speaking to Veifer as they work with him to deliver a signed statement.

“He has cooperated with police from the very outset. We are speaking to him on a daily basis,” Detective Newman said.

“I don’t want to give a time frame for when that evidence will come to us or how it will come to us.”

Newman said there were “complexities” with the case as police work to determine if any charges can be laid against nurses Nadir and Lebdeh after the video emerged last week.

“We need to make sure we comply with all those foreign rules that are there and making sure that we can get an admissible statement that can be used in a court in NSW,” he said.

“We’re looking at an offence under the Commonwealth Code and certainly we will seek advice of the DPP in relation to those matters.”

He said any charges, if laid, would be in relation to using a carriage service to menace, harass or cause offence.

“We will look at all offences that are available to us,” Newman added.

The investigation is being conducted under NSW Police taskforce Strike Force Pearl.

In a statement yesterday, NSW Police said it was working with Veifer to finalise a statement “to ensure it meets Australian legal standards to be admissible in court”.

“As the influencer is in Israel and the video believed to be created in Israel, police need to manage the complexities involved in gathering and producing evidence from an overseas jurisdiction to meet Australian legal requirements for the evidence to be admissible in Australian courts,” police said.

Veifer also updated followers on the situation and thanked his supporters yesterday.

“Yesterday I spoke with the NSW police again,” he said.

Since this is an ongoing investigation, I can’t share details.

“I’m, confident they have enough evidence, including my uncut video.”
