The defense attorney for Omri Peretz, a friend of missing man Eldar Dayan arrested on suspicion of involvement in a traffic accident, is appealing the court's decision to publish his identity and extend his remand, according to N12.
The defense attorney for Omri Peretz, a friend of the missing Eldar Dayan, filed an appeal on Sunday against the court's decision to publish Peretz's identity and extend his remand, according to N12. The appeal marks a new phase in the legal proceedings, less than 24 hours after the court allowed the suspect's name to be made public.
On Saturday, August 1, at 19:54 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that police were seeking a seven-day remand extension for Peretz and other friends of Dayan. At the same time, the family of Eldar Dayan called on police to expand the investigation, stating they were in contact with a person who knows his whereabouts. Previously, on July 28, a court extended Peretz's arrest until August 2, and his attorney denied the allegations, noting there was no complainant or victim. On July 31, the family hired criminal defense attorney Sapir Pardo, who denied allegations that Dayan was involved in a hit-and-run or violent incident, calling them "mere speculation."
As The Zioneer reported on July 28, Peretz's arrest was extended until August 2, and his attorney from the Public Defender's Office said the suspect denies the allegations and is cooperating. On July 31, the family's attorney, Sapir Pardo, denied allegations of a hit-and-run, calling them speculation. The court's decision to allow publication of Peretz's name indicates progress in the probe.
The location of Eldar Dayan remains unknown. The appeal is pending, and the investigation continues. The family has stated they are in contact with someone who knows Dayan's location, but no further details have been confirmed.
