Prosecutors drop case against two far-right Jewish terror suspects
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleState prosecutors announce that they will be dropping their case against two Jewish far-right activists who were indicted on a series of charges, including membership in a terror organization and vandalizing a prominent Jerusalem church.
The prosecutors inform the Central District Court that they do not have enough evidence to prosecute Eyal Reuveni, 23, and a second suspect, 21, whose name has been barred from publication as he was a minor at the time of the 2014 arson incident.
The announcement comes just over two months after the Central District Court threw out the confessions given under extreme duress by the younger suspect, in a decision seen as a major blow to the Shin Bet security service, which had led the investigation.
