Katsav becomes Israel's first ex-president to go on trial
0 Comments | AFP, April, 2008
JERUSALEM (AFP) — Israel's ex-president Moshe Katsav appeared before a Jerusalem court on sexual harassment charges on Tuesday, becoming the country's highest-ranking former official to go on trial.
Flanked by his wife and escorted by dozens of police officers, Katsav made his way into the courtroom to shouts of "rapist, rapist!"
As the trial got under way, Katsav's lawyers announced that he wanted to annul a plea deal with the prosecution under which he would be tried only for sexual harassment, indecent acts and suborning a witness, but not for rape.
"My client wants to annul the compromise agreement and fight to demonstrate his innocence," attorney Avigdor Feldman told journalists after the hearing, which lasted less than half an hour.
