According to the verdict, Aton - along with another person whose identity is unknown - planned and carried out a violent robbery of a money exchange shop in the Haredi neighborhood.
He posed as an ultra-Orthodox man by wearing appropriate clothing - a white shirt, black pants, tassels, and a Haredi hat - used a vehicle with a fake license plate, threatened the complainant with tear gas, physically attacked him and caused him injuries, and fled the scene with 40,400 NIS.
After conducting evidence in court, the defendant was convicted of committing the offenses of aggravated robbery and changing the identity of a vehicle.
During the sentencing arguments hearing, the Jerusalem District Attorney's Office asked the court, through attorney Amir Xantini, to impose a prison sentence of 3.5 years on the defendant, suspended prison sentence, and significant compensation for the victim of the offense. The attorney's office noted that this was a violent, sophisticated, and planned act that required planning in advance and resulted in actual physical and mental harm to the complainant.
The court, as mentioned, sentenced the defendant to 33 months in prison, probation, and compensation of 10,000 shekels to the victim of the offense and 40,400 shekels to Change.
The court rejected the Probation Service's recommendation to settle for community service, noting that this was not an exceptional and exceptional case that justified a deviation from the appropriate punishment range for Kola. "Given the seriousness of the offense, the planning and sophistication with which it was committed, and the severe violence used in it, as well as the need to deter potential offenders from committing such acts, I am unable to accept the Probation Service's recommendation.""
