A senior judge in Israel is under criminal investigation but continues to conduct hearings as usual in court – including detention extension hearings before the police, the very same body that is currently investigating him. This situation creates a severe conflict of interest, as the judge is required to rule on requests from the body investigating him. Following an inquiry by i24NEWS on the matter, the court administration stepped in to examine the issue. The article emphasizes that the judge is presumed innocent, but notes that continuing to conduct hearings before the investigators constitutes a serious breach of integrity. The report is based on an investigation by legal commentator Avishai Grinzaig.
