A long saga has come to an end: Rafi Dahan will be compensated with NIS 4.2 million after the offense of Ruben Raios, after which he ended his career. After a long process and several appeals, the final decision was made, and now the saga is over. , Yossi Geyer, described the feelings after the decision.
“Rafi wanted to put the saga behind him. He wants to embark on the new path and put it behind him,” Geyer began. “The calculation of the lawsuit was mainly due to the calculation of what Sharfi would gain later in his career. “Get drunk at high levels. We presented the opposite opinion and the referee accepted it. The life expectancy of athletes is not very great, Rafi was injured when he was 24.5 years old, and could play for another 10 years, the court ruled, hence the calculation of the compensation he received.”
“Rafi Dahan was diagnosed with a 28 percent disability as a result of that incident, and he is trying to recover from it,” Geyer continued. “Ruben Raios was not harmed in any way in this case. “Somewhere, the fact that Maccabi Haifa is an orderly club, meant that Raios was not harmed in any way. I am glad that Maccabi Haifa was here in the picture, because chasing a foreign player who has no property in the country or commitment to the country, was not easy.”
“The court ruled that Raios’ injury was intentional,” the lawyer explained. “Haifa’s lawyers tried to explain that such an offense is part of the game and is due to bad luck. .
And what is Rafi Dahan doing today? “Rafi is trying to recover, he is still looking for himself. He has not regained consciousness and it is far away. He has not found himself since,” Geir concluded, “7 years have passed. Today Rafi is 31 years old, he will eventually adapt. It is not easy for a person after retirement. Under normal circumstances, and it is even more difficult for a person to be injured in such circumstances. “
