The State Attorney’s Office asked the court on Sunday to discuss former deputy minister and Yisrael Beytenu secretary-general Faina Kirschenbaum’s sentence for accepting bribes “for years.”
The potential sentence will constitute 10 to 12 years in prison and a fine of between one million and three million new shekels, in addition to the confiscation of two million new shekels.
Last March, Kirschenbaum took a bribe in what became known as the “Israel Beiteinu Affair.” The former Knesset member was convicted in most of the counts against her and, in addition, Rami Cohen, director-general of the Agriculture Ministry was also convicted.
