Elior Chen to stay in detainment; Supreme Court rejects appeal
The Supreme Court rejected the appeal of the "abusive rabbi" Elior Chen against the extension of his remand. Chen's counsel claimed that his remand was extended on the basis of an attempted murder charge that did not appear in Brazil's decision to extradite him to Israel.
Judge Salim Jubran ruled that the extension of Chen's remand was based also on other suspicions, including abuse of minors. However, the judge wondered why the State did not submit a translated copy of the extradition ruling to the court, thus thwarting the start of deliberations. (Aviad Glickman)
