About the law and the debate
Official summary of the law (Knesset)
An offense of collecting protection money was established at two levels of severity. The first concerns the collection of protection money while exploiting distress without a threat. In this situation, a presumption of awareness was established regarding the offender who collects protection money on an ongoing basis, of the victim's distress, if offenses against the person or property were allegedly committed in the victim's surroundings. The second level of severity concerns the collection of protection money using a threat. In addition, as a temporary provision for 5 years, a minimum penalty for the new offense was established, as well as forfeiture arrangements by the court in criminal proceedings and in civil proceedings without conviction. Regarding the implementation of these provisions, a reporting obligation for 10 years was established.
