Contractor Dudi Appel, questioned this week, said he filed a complaint against 8 prosecutors and 5 judges, alleging they took bribes to secure his conviction, according to reports. The claim follows his earlier statement that he was subjected to 231 investigations for refusing a state evacuation deal.
Contractor Dudi Appel, who was questioned by Israeli authorities this week, claimed on Thursday evening that he filed a formal complaint against 8 prosecutors and 5 judges, alleging they accepted bribes to secure his conviction. The statement was reported by the source of journalist Yinon Magal.
Appel asserted that he had previously submitted a complaint against the officials, saying they "took money to convict me." The allegations are serious and unverified; Appel did not provide evidence for the claims. The Justice Ministry and the Israel Bar Association have not yet responded.
Earlier Thursday, The Zioneer reported that Appel said he had endured 231 investigations over his refusal to accept a state compensation package for evacuating 1,700 families. Appel, a prominent figure in Israeli real estate, has a long history of legal battles. The intersection of his case with broader debates on judicial independence continues to draw attention.
