Israeli held for illegally entering Jordan appears in court
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAMMAN, Jordan — An Israeli man detained in Jordan appears before a state security court where he is charged with illegally entering the country and possessing drugs.
The 35-year-old Israeli pleads guilty today to entering Jordan illegally but denies the other charge. Konstantin Kotov says that possessing a small amount of marijuana is legal in Israel. The judge rejects the argument, saying Kotov had violated Jordanian law.
Kotov, who was arrested on October 29, does not say why he traveled to Jordan.
