Prosecution seeking to cancel Katsav parole hearing
The State Prosecutor’s Office wants the parole board to cancel a Friday hearing on the early release of former president Moshe Katsav, who is serving a seven-year sentence for rape and other crimes.
According to Ynet, the prosecutor says the Israel Prison Service has not yet submitted its recommendation on the matter, which is needed for the hearing to go ahead.
The prosecutor also says that the required six months have not elapsed since the last parole hearing for the former president.
