The Tel Aviv police waited for the court's review, and after it was decided Thursday night to release Muhammad Zeid, the suspect in the arson attack on the Ben-Gurion statue on Tel Aviv's beach, they began to take the investigation seriously and carried out the investigative activities that had been delayed until now, but this did not help them and the District Court also ordered the release of Muhammad Zeid.
Yesterday, Judge Benjamin Hirschel said of the police: "I must consider the length of the investigation when it appears to be a case that is not complex," wrote the judge who granted the police's request to delay the release decision by a day.
During Rosh Hashanah (early Saturday morning), the statue of David Ben-Gurion was set on fire on Bograshov Beach in Tel Aviv. A few hours later, after receiving security camera footage, Zeid was arrested after he was seen running away from the promenade. When Zeid was arrested for his clothes, there was apparently soot and the clothes were seized and taken for laboratory testing.
Zaid's defense attorney, Zohar Moshe, who represents him from the public defender's office, noted that the investigating unit was unable to carry out actions that caused the suspicion to thicken, and all the police have is that his client was in the vicinity of the place. "Already in the first extension of detention, on Saturday night the same action of viewing reports was requested... Already yesterday before the meeting. My colleague in his fairness replied that the operation had not been carried out. Under these circumstances, since the investigation is not progressing and reasonable suspicion only weakened both at the first meeting and yesterday, the investigating unit has no indication to show that the suspect here did the act," said Attorney Moshe.
