The Hammer of the Court (Moshe Hermon)
The detention of Omri Ben Lulu, a Maccabi Haifa fan suspected of placing a stun grenade outside the house of Omar Atzili, was extended today (Wednesday) until Sunday. Tel Aviv District Court Judge Zion Kapf accepted the police appeal, after the court ordered his release from custody.
More Avichai Khabi, Representing Ben Lulu, said during the hearing among other things: “The respondent gave a full version in the first interrogation, until a socialite came in and started beating him, yelling at him and telling him he was a liar and a crook no matter what he said. My friend submitted to the court his first message and not just his second, that in my order he maintained the right to remain silent, in light of social conduct. So this is a respondent who cooperated, said ‘Check the alibi claim’. He claimed he was at work and did not check even though the district court said Carefully examine the suspicion against this respondent. “
Lawyer Khagbi further claimed: “The grenade was sent to the lab and the lab returned with a negative answer, also regarding the DNA. I believe that if they see communication between Gita (the other suspect) and the respondent, it does not indicate anything, it could be Maybe it’s true of an offense committed yesterday or Tuesday and not something they have been investigating for three weeks. All they are trying to hold on to is the connection between this respondent and Gita. The respondent also said he knows Gita and they talk from time to time and said he knows him from Maccabi Haifa games. “Before the court, a message that the respondent told Gita what to do, or a wiretapping call that was caught and incriminated, I believe there is a difficulty in reasonable suspicion.”
Meanwhile, the arrest of the second suspect, Bar Gita, is due to end tomorrow, but police are expected to ask the court to extend the detention, also in his case, as they did with the other suspect.
