TL;DRA proposal to expand the aggravating circumstance for sentencing in offenses whose commission is connected to a criminal organization, so that it also applies to someone who is not a member of the organization but has a connection to it.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Combating Criminal Organizations Law (5763) by expanding the definition of "connection to a criminal organization" so that it also includes a person who is not a formal member of the organization but presents themselves as, or acts in connection with, a criminal organization. The aggravating circumstance is the imposition of a double penalty on offenses committed in connection with the organization, even when the offense is not part of the organization's regular activity. The proposal is aimed at addressing such situations even without a formal organizational tie.
