The Jerusalem District Court today sentenced Ronel Fisher to 9 months of imprisonment to be served through community service, as well as a suspended sentence. Fisher pleaded guilty and was convicted as part of a plea deal for offenses including attempted mediation in bribery, obstruction of justice, and receiving assets obtained through crime.
This is a serious case in which Fisher, who served as a private attorney, acted with additional parties to obstruct police investigations and present a facade of his ability to influence an investigation concerning Alon Hassan in exchange for a bribe.
The prosecution argued that given the severity of the acts and the damage to the law enforcement system, an actual prison sentence should be imposed. The court ruled that the actual imprisonment would be served through community service and also addressed various claims raised during the proceedings.
The prosecution will study the verdict and its reasoning.
