This sentence was imposed despite the sentencing that the criminal activity on the first three charges enabled the lawyer to evade the payment of betterment levies totaling NIS 800,000 that were stolen from the state coffers, and that in order to obtain this profit, the lawyer transferred to the defendant the significant bribe amounts, amounting to NIS 170,000. It was also emphasized"This is not a one-time event or a temporary stumble, but rather a pattern of activity that repeated itself several times over a long period of time, from 2009 to 2016". On the other hand, Fischer was convicted of a single incident of attempted bribery, he was arrested before transferring the money given to him by Hassan, and in practice, his actions did not harm Hassan's police investigation.
(e) Criminal Case (Tel Aviv District) 44939-12-18 State of Israel v. Shimberg (16.2.2001) - The defendants served as employees and managers in the National Food Service in the Ministry of Health. Defendant 3, who worked as a food engineer in the Food Service, was convicted, according to his confession, as part of a plea bargain, of taking a bribe, of bribery, and three offenses of breach of trust. The court divided the events into three punishment complexes. One of the compounds referred to the offense of bribery brokerage and one offense of breach of trust. These offenses were related to a food importer who provided the defendant with benefits (ordering vacation packages at a discounted price on various occasions in sums of thousands of shekels each; employing the defendant's daughter in a deli owned by that importer) in parallel with the defendant's handling of his requests. In addition, the same importer gave the defendant a voucher for a hotel in the amount of approximately NIS 2,000 in order for the defendant to transfer it as a bribe to another defendant who served as an import manager in the food service. The penalty area for this incident was set at 8 to 20 months in prison, and it was held that if it were not for the justification for a certain deviation from the compound for reasons of justice (in view of personal, family and medical circumstances), the punishment should have been at the lower threshold of the compound. In her arguments, the accuser referred to the Supreme Court's judgment in this case (Criminal Appeal 2216/21 Asor v. State of Israel (December 19, 2021)). However, the appeals heard there were by defendants who were convicted of perfect bribery offenses, while defendant 3 in the case – for whom he was convicted is the closest to the offense of which Fisher was convicted – did not appeal the sentence imposed on him.
