Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The bill changes Section 3 of the Combating Criminal Organizations Law of 2003 to define "connection to a criminal organization" - a situation in which a person who committed an offense presents themselves as linked to the criminal organization and some connection exists between them and the organization. The change extends the aggravating circumstance also to situations in which an offense is committed in the name of the criminal organization or with its help, even if the offender is not its direct member, for example in cases of extortion or hiring of services.
