Former president Moshe Katsav to be released on furlough for Passover
Former president Moshe Katsav, currently serving seven year in prison for rape, will be released for a 48-hour furlough on Passover Eve for the first time. Katsav made a similar request last year, but was denied because insufficient time had passed since his prior furlough.
Katsav is regularly released on furlough every month, like any prisoner who meets certain criteria.
