A former player in Israel's top soccer league, the Premier League, was arrested on suspicion of making threats. The player was brought before a judge for an extension of his detention, as police sought to hold him for seven days. Authorities claimed there was a concern of obstruction of justice and a risk to the safety of an individual. A second suspect in the same case had already been released by security forces. The former player's defense attorney argued that his client had no prior criminal record and was cooperating fully with the investigation. The judge determined that there was reasonable suspicion the offenses were committed but that continued detention was not necessary for the investigation. Consequently, the ex-player was released to house arrest under the supervision of his brother. The initial report of the arrest and subsequent release was made by Wissam Goutani on the "Posta" website.
