Police arrested two prominent legal figures on Tuesday on suspicion of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust, about two months after incriminating recordings published by the media appeared to show the two conspiring in a quid pro quo arrangement.

The National Fraud Unit detained former Tel Aviv District Court president Eitan Orenstein and former Bar Association president Efraim (Efi) Nave for questioning, a police statement said, adding that the probe into the two was launched following the release of a media report on them.
