There is also no factual basis for the claim that the prosecution acted in a manner that enabled it to choose a better panel for it. The prosecution did not know which panel would hear the case after the indictment was filed again, and even today it has not notified the parties of the panel that will hear the evidence, should it be heard.
- Hence, the arguments for the cancellation of the indictment, in this context as well, are rejected.
- As for the claim of double jeopardy, not only were the defendants not convicted of the offenses attributed to them, nor were they acquitted of committing them, but the indictment was canceled before a response was given to the indictment. Hence, the argument regarding double risk is also rejected.
Conclusion
- The defendants, or any of them, raised a long list of preliminary arguments, which they claimed led to the dismissal of the indictment or part of it. Among other things, they raised claims regarding selective enforcement, the lack of approval by the Attorney General to file the indictment, the delay in filing the indictment, the attribution of illegal offenses, allegations regarding the wording of the indictment and flaws in it, other flaws in the conduct of the prosecution, as well as claims regarding personal circumstances.
- The vast majority of the defendants' arguments were rejected, with the exception of their arguments regarding the weight that should be given to each parameter and regarding the calculation of the criminal score while examining each offense on its own. Therefore, as stated, the prosecution is instructed to continue to explain its decision with respect to the weights, insofar as it adheres to this method. In addition, it must recalculate the criminal score, give equal weight to the totality of the offenses committed by each defendant out of the totality of the offenses, re-rank those involved and consider whether there is room to amend the indictment as a result.
- The motion to cancel the indictment, or part thereof, for reasons of protection from justice and for other reasons is denied.
The prosecution will submit its position in relation to the above, providing clarifications and submitting the renewed criminal scores, including the details of their calculation, within 30 days. The prosecution will also file an amended indictment in relation to the scribe's mistakes that were detailed and detailed.
- Continuing to conduct the criminal proceedings as prescribed.
Granted today, October 24, 2025, in the absence of the parties.
