Israel's National Fraud Unit (Lahav 433) has concluded its investigation into Avi Naim, former head of the Israel Bar Association, and Eitan Orenstein, former president of the Tel Aviv District Court. The investigation, overseen by the Tax and Economic Crimes Prosecution, focused on suspicions of a corrupt relationship between the two.
Investigators suspect that Naim, during his tenure as Bar Association head, worked to advance Orenstein's appointment as president of the Tel Aviv District Court. Evidence and testimonies were gathered to support the allegations that this advancement was not solely based on professional merit but was part of a supposed bribery deal.
In exchange for Naim's assistance in the appointment, Orenstein allegedly agreed to facilitate the transfer of Judge Dalia Gannot from her position in the court's torts department. The case file, containing all collected evidence, has now been transferred to the Tax and Economic Crimes Prosecution for a decision on whether to file indictments.
