Israel Prison Authority parole officials have decided to remove one-third from the sentence of former Shas minister, Rabbi Shlomo Benizri for good behavior.

That means Benizri will be released in April 2012 instead of July 2013.

Benizri entered prison in October 2009, after the yomim tovim after being found guilty of accepting bribes, breach of trust and other related white collar crimes.
