The district court rejected a police appeal and upheld the release of Aryeh Alperon, a figure in Israeli organized crime, under restrictive conditions. Alperon was arrested following an incident Sunday in which he allegedly threatened a judge in Hadera's Magistrate Court by demanding a private meeting and telling a court clerk to 'send my regards to the judge.' The judge reported feeling threatened.
The district court's rejection of the police appeal leaves Aryeh Alperon, a well-known figure in Israeli organized crime, free under restrictive conditions. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Alperon was arrested after allegedly threatening a judge in Hadera's Magistrate Court. The judge told police he felt threatened after Alperon approached him demanding a private meeting and, when asked to leave, told a court clerk to 'send my regards.' Police sought to keep Alperon in custody, but the district court ruled the circumstances did not warrant detention beyond the conditions already imposed.
