Judge in Bezeq probe dismissed over texting scandal

A disciplinary panel dismisses the judge who was caught earlier this year texting a lawyer from the Israel Securities Authority regarding suspects in a high-profile corruption probe into the Bezeq telecom company.

The panel found Judge Ronit Poznansky-Katz guilty of unbecoming behavior in April, but did not announce her formal punishment until today.

Additionally, Supreme Court Chief Justice Esther Hayut and Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked ordered a formal inquiry into Poznansky-Katz’s behavior.
