Katsav leaves prison on 72-hour furlough to celebrate Passover
Former president Moshe Katsav, who is serving a seven-year sentence after being convicted of rape, left prison on Friday morning for a 72-hour furlough to celebrate Passover.
He was greeted outside Maasiyahu Prison by his wife Gila and brother Lior.
Earlier this month, the Parole Board rejected Katsav's request for early release, determining that he will serve out his term.
