Supreme Court Denies Bail for Doctor Accused of Ra'am Election Bribery
Israel's Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from a physician suspected of bribing voters to support the Ra'am party. The court ruled that the suspect must remain in custody as the investigation proceeds. Justice Yechiel Kasher dismissed the defense's argument that the case involved a fundamental legal question regarding the boundary between political activity and criminal conduct. The court emphasized that the detention is justified by the strength of the evidence and the risk of witness tampering.
