State drops case against Supreme Court president's husband
By Yuval Yoaz, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Beinisch, tax offenses 

The State Prosecutor's Office has decided not to open an investigation against attorney Yehezkel Beinisch, husband of Supreme Court President Dorit Beinisch, on suspicion of crimes dating from his tenure as chair of the board of directors of the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra.

This ends the Beinisch affair, after Attorney General Menachem Mazuz decided in 2005 not to put him on trial for suspected tax offenses as head of the JSO. The decision not to investigate other suspected crimes by Beinisch or other board members was made by Avia Alef, chief of the economic department at the State Prosecutor's Office.

The registrar of non-profit organizations, Yaron Kedar, was informed of the decision Thursday.

The Justice Ministry announcement said that the matter had been reviewed by Kedar, the tax authority, and the temporary receiver appointed for the JSO board, and none of them recommended opening an investigation.
