A former chief rabbi has been summoned for questioning by
the police in a case surrounding blackmail suspicions in the state’s rabbinical
court system, Hebrew media reports.
The move was approved by Attorney General Gali
Baharav-Miara. The name of the former chief rabbi is gagged by court order.
He is questioned under caution, meaning he could face
charges, in connection with suspicions that a rabbinical judge closely
associated with the former chief rabbi blackmailed a subordinate to influence
his rulings.
According to the Walla website, investigators from the
police’s Lahav 433 major crimes unit raided the offices of the Grand Rabbinical
Court this morning in search of emails and documents.
