Court orders release of crime boss's wife to house arrest for seventh time

Judge Ben Harush ruled to release Ofir Nager to house arrest at her sister's home, subject to restrictions, and allowed police to appeal. The judge noted she is suspected of financial offenses, not violent crimes, and that her danger level decreased as her husband Eyal Nager is in custody. The court emphasized humanitarian considerations as she is a mother of three children. Police can enter the home at any time to verify compliance. The prosecution opposed, noting she has been detained since August 11, 2026, on money laundering and tax offenses, and argued that such long detention is unusual for these offenses. The defense highlighted her lack of criminal record and the emotional distress of her children. This is the seventh time her release has been ordered.
