Judge fired over texting scandal appeals punishment
The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court judge who was dismissed for having ethically “inappropriate” communications with the state prosecutor in the Bezeq corruption case appeals her suspension to the High Court of Justice.
Ronit Poznansky-Katz says the disciplinary committee chose to suspend her even though the state never asked that she be fired.
The disciplinary committee voted unanimously to dismiss Poznansky-Katz in April after it emerged that she coordinated remand rulings for suspects with Israel Securities Authority attorney Eran Shacham-Shavit in a series of personal text messages.
