Israel Police announced the conclusion of its investigation into former legal officials Efi Nave and Eitan Orenstein, suspecting a bribery scheme. The investigation, led by the National Fraud Unit of Lahav 433 with accompaniment from the Tax and Economic Crimes Prosecution, focused on allegations of a corrupt relationship between the two former senior figures in the legal system. Investigators suspect Nave, the former chairman of the Israel Bar Association, acted to advance Orenstein's appointment as president of the Tel Aviv District Court. In return, it is alleged that Judge Dalia Gannot was to be transferred from her position in the court's torts department. Police examined whether a "give and take" deal occurred, where Orenstein's promotion was contingent on Gannot's reassignment. With the investigation complete, all case materials have been transferred to the Tax and Economic Crimes Prosecution for review and a decision on further proceedings.
