The Lod District Court accepted, Thursday, the appeal filed by Mickey Ganor's defense attorneys against a magistrates court ruling extending his remand by five days.
The judge decided that Ganor will remain in custody until noon tomorrow, and then be released to house arrest until Sunday. Ganor was forbidden to make contact with other parties in his case and had to pay an appearance bond of one hundred thousand shekels. The police will appeal to the Supreme Court. Ganor is state's witness in an investigation into allegations of improprieties in Israel's purchase of submarines from Germany. Statements made this week regarding his testimony led to his detention.
