In the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court on Monday (Monday), the plea for punishment began in the trial of retired Nissah Shaham, after the state's appeal was granted last September, and Shaham was convicted of sex offenses, fraud and breach of trust. Attorney General Ronen Yitzhak: "These are eight cases over five years. It is a senior officer who has used his rank and powers as a pretext for satisfying his sexual desires. "

Today's hearing in the Tel Aviv Magistrate's Court, in which the prosecution demanded, in the case of Shaham, an actual prison sentence. "In the case before us, an actual prison sentence does not require any service work ... The law-abiding officer became law-abiding and this is corruption," the prosecutor's representatives heard during the hearing. Shaham's lawyer argued that he would appeal to the Supreme Court for the conviction.

Recall that the judges of the appeal appealed to Shaham to accept the appeal and to agree to fraudulent conviction and breach of trust and the sentence to be sentenced would be service work without time in prison, emphasizing that if they wrote a verdict, they would express their opinion on Shaham's behavior. "We find great reason in most of the prosecution's legal arguments," the judges of the composition then said.

Three months ago, when the state's appeal was upheld in Tel Aviv District Court, Judge Miriam Diskin ruled over a hundred-page verdict that the court would convict him of sexual harassment, fraud and breach of trust. Judge Miriam Diskin wrote: "Shaham's relationship with junior police officers and without bothering to pull his hands in their affairs constitutes a breach of trust and constitutes a violation of public confidence.

Judge Diskin added: "Due to Shaham's senior role, he was obliged to pay more attention to his actions. People in his position should adhere to high norms." Judge Diskin also wrote that she did not see eye to eye with the statements that Shaham's actions were minor.
