The forum discussed the following issues: the precedent sentence – 10 years in prison for Faina Kirschenbaum – on the question of whether bribery offenses became a national calamity; Position on legislative changes required mainly in economic offenses (white collar); Proposal to amend the legislation (by Justice Minister Gideon Saar) and the Roman Zadorov trial.
Advocate Kohane on the sentence of Faina Kirschenbaum:
“The punishment in the Kirschenbaum case is unprecedented.
