Adv. Sharon Kohane, Head of the White Collar Department at our firm, participated in the annual forum of Dun’s 100 – a ranking of the leading companies in Israel on the subject of criminal law and white collar, in which senior executives from the field participated.
The forum discussed the following issues: the precedent sentence – 10 years in prison for Faina Kirschenbaum – on the question of whether bribery offenses became a national calamity; Position on legislative changes required mainly in economic offenses (white collar); Proposal to amend the legislation (by Justice Minister Gideon Saar) and the Roman Zadorov trial.
Advocate Kohane on the sentence of Faina Kirschenbaum:
“The punishment in the Kirschenbaum case is unprecedented.
A double-digit punishment for bribery offenses is crossing a threshold that exceeds any known standard. “The court has created something out of nothing, a ‘bypass road’ that scales punishment – a new norm that is completely detached from the rulings that deal with offenses of moral purity.”
