Combating Criminal Organizations Law (Amendment – Expanding the Aggravating Circumstance of Affiliation in a Criminal Organization) Bill
Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק מאבק בארגוני פשיעה (תיקון - הרחבת הנסיבה המחמירה לזיקה בארגון פשיעה)
TL;DRA proposal to expand the increased penalty for offenses whose commission is connected to a criminal organization, even when the offense is not part of its ongoing activity.
Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal amends the Combating Criminal Organizations Law (2003) by expanding the definition of "connection to a criminal organization". Under this proposal, anyone who presents themselves as connected to a criminal organization, even without a direct connection to its routine activity, will be considered as having a connection to the organization. This is in order to toughen punishment also for offenses committed in the name of the organization that are not part of its regular operation, such as extortion or threats that use the organization's name.
