The Tel Aviv District Court orders that Ari Rosenfeld, a noncommissioned IDF officer at the center of the Prime Minister’s Office security documents scandal, to be released to house arrest with electronic tagging.
Rosenfeld has been held in prison for four months after being arrested in late October and indicted on charges of illegally transferring classified documents from IDF Military Intelligence to Eli Feldstein, an aide to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who then leaked one of the documents to the Bild newspaper in Germany.
The court orders Rosenfeld to deposit a NIS 100,000 guarantee and bans him from contacting anyone involved in the criminal investigation surrounding the affair, and from using any device with internet connectivity.
The court also issues a permit to the security services to tap and track communications by Rosenfeld should they believe he is violating the court order.
