Three months community service for Israeli radio pirate

The Haifa District Court, sitting as the Criminal Appeals Court, has sentenced a man to three months’ community service for broadcasting on a pirate radio station, the State Attorney’s Office announced today.

Yehuda Sorogon had been originally convicted in the Hadera Magistrates’ Court of making illegal broadcasts on Briza, a Haifa area pirate radio station broadcasting on FM, between 2005 and 2008. However, the State Attorney’s Office had appealed to the higher court against the original sentence of probation imposed on the defendant.
