The professor was identified as Shahar Nevo, 59, of Petah Tikva, according to the reports. He was indicted on charges of preparing a terror act, extortion by threats and obstruction of justice.
Reports identified Shahar Nevo, 59, a mathematics professor at Bar-Ilan University and a resident of Petah Tikva, as the defendant in a case involving alleged plans for attacks against Arabs. The reports said his identity was cleared for publication two days after the indictment was filed. He faces charges of preparing a terror act, extortion by threats and obstruction of justice.
In separate earlier reports, The Zioneer reported on Monday, Oct. 5, that a Bar-Ilan mathematics lecturer had been indicted over an alleged plot targeting Arab Israelis. The Zioneer reported later that day on a letter connected to the case and, in a separate report, on former Knesset candidate Moshe Feiglin’s account of an alleged extortion attempt. Those earlier reports described the indictment and related allegations; the current reports identify the defendant as Nevo.
