The Israeli Basketball Association's disciplinary prosecutor, Adv. Itamar Lifner, is seeking penalties for Maccabi Tel Aviv following disturbances during the recent Tel Aviv derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv. The prosecutor has charged the club with unsportsmanlike conduct, fan-inflicted damage, and fan rioting.
According to the observer's report, numerous rolls of paper were thrown onto the court before and during the game, causing a six-minute delay to the start. Additionally, paper rolls were thrown from the section occupied by Maccabi fans towards the Hapoel Tel Aviv bench and towards one of the referees, Tsachi Habadli. Paper was also thrown onto the court during the match, disrupting play.
Lifner is requesting that Maccabi Tel Aviv be punished with a heavy fine and a suspended stadium ban (a "radius game"). The club will now face a disciplinary hearing over these charges.
