Yoel Yosef, an associate of "HaShomrim" organization chairman Haim Rotter who was suspected of extortion by threats in the serious sex crimes case in Bnei Brak, was released from the police station. This despite his detention being extended yesterday until tomorrow. Yosef was a suspect in the case after allegedly dissuading a complainant from continuing proceedings against Rotter. The hearing regarding Yosef that was scheduled for tomorrow has also been canceled.
