Barak Abramov (Radad Jabara)
Barak Abramov, Bnei Yehuda, was on disciplinary action this evening (Wednesday) in the court of the Football Association following the events of the game against Hapoel Kfar Saba, in which his team lost 3: 1, and received a relatively light penalty – a fine of 7,500 NIS along with a two-month suspended suspension. Team midfielder Matthias Liovic, who was sent off with a red card, received a heavier penalty when he was sent off for 3 games and was also fined NIS 3,000.
Bnei Yehuda, who was convicted of insulting a judge, disorderly conduct and misconduct in aggravated circumstances, said during the hearing: “I apologize to Judge Snir Levy and his father Meir Levy. The attack on him was a bit excessive, out of place and it does not fit. I did shout and speak from the bottom of my heart, but the security guards saw that there was no fear of violence and therefore did not intervene. “
Bnei Yehuda then argued that the indictment should be amended and cited the case of Kiryat Shmona colleague Izzy Shretzky as an example: “What is the difference between what I said and what Izzy Shretzky said after the game about the same referee and was not prosecuted. Than the things I said but in more serious cases were not prosecuted. ”
In addition, the judge, Israel Shimoni, noted in his decision that Abramov also raised a similar incident, according to him, in which Avi Luzon, chairman of Maccabi Petah Tikva, was involved as a reason for the mitigation of his sentence. “As for Avi Luzon, who raised the defendant as another incident that justifies a mitigation of punishment for him, I examined the judge’s report and Mr. Luzon’s conviction and will note that he is attributed significantly ‘lighter’ behavior than that attributed to the defendant,” he wrote. Shimoni.
