Ex-partner's suicide threats are 'extortion,' judge rules

In a precedent-setting ruling on Sunday, Judge Benny Sagi in the Tel Aviv Magistrates' Court ruled that a Tel Mond resident who threatened to kill himself if his partner left him was guilty of extortion.
This is the first case in which a judge ruled that a case of emotional blackmail between partners in a relationship constituted an offense of extortion.
