The two remaining suspects in the 'ballot box terror' affair will be brought before a judge in Be'er Sheva this afternoon. The police are leaning toward a decision not to request an extension of their detention, but to release them under restrictive conditions, although a final decision has not yet been reached. Meanwhile, police reject the impression that the affair is over and clarify that the examination of findings continues, including the cellphones of the seven suspects who were arrested. The affair was exposed on election day, October 27, when police raided residential compounds in Segev Shalom and the Azazmeh diaspora in the Negev, on suspicion of election bribery related to activity on behalf of the Ra'am party. Envelopes containing cash, Ra'am voting slips, and voter lists were seized. The Magistrate's Court determined that there is a basis of reasonable suspicion, and the District Court ordered continued detention until November 1. The district judge emphasized that political activity on behalf of Ra'am itself is not an offense, and the suspicion concerns an attempt to bribe voters.
