Overview
- In a case heard Nov. 11–13, the court convicted Gil of espionage, harming economic activity, and mishandling classified documents, imposing a life sentence.
- Following a second hearing Nov. 26–29, judges found him guilty of bribery, influence peddling, document falsification, and continued tax evasion, adding a 20-year term.
- The tribunal ordered confiscation of assets as an accessory penalty.
- The Supreme Court said appeals are required for such severe penalties, after which a single combined sentence would be set if the rulings are upheld.
- Proceedings were held behind closed doors and only Gil was named, with the court alleging he took payments from foreign firms and bribed officials after his abrupt 2024 dismissal from office.
