The Krayot Magistrate's Court ordered the release of Albert Yishmailov to full house arrest until July 12, after determining that most investigative steps have been completed. According to N12, involved parties cited evidentiary difficulties with the main rape complaint, stating there is insufficient basis for an indictment on that charge at this stage. The investigation continues regarding additional complaints filed against Yishmailov.
The Zioneer reported at 13:12 that the Krayot Magistrate's Court ordered the release of Albert Yishmailov to full house arrest. The current bulletin adds that the main rape complaint filed against him faces evidentiary difficulties, and that the investigation is continuing on other complaints. Yishmailov, a taxi driver from the Kiryat area, was arrested on June 18 on suspicion of raping a 16-year-old passenger. As The Zioneer reported on June 18, four complaints were filed at that time, and the number later grew to six by June 22. The court's decision to release him, with a ban on contacting involved parties for 60 days, suggests that the investigation has not yielded sufficient evidence to proceed on the most serious charge. The case remains under active investigation.
