Israeli court keeps indicted air force officer in detention in prediction-market case
An Israeli court denied a detained air force officer’s request for house arrest as he faces charges over alleged use of classified information to wager on Polymarket. His defence claimed betting on prediction markets was widespread among military personnel and alleged investigative misconduct; the court said that claim was not relevant to the case, while a separate inquiry is planned.
The case concerns alleged misuse of military information for prediction-market bets, with the officer remaining in detention.
