lee zeitouni affair

lee zeitouni -lrb- 1986 -- september 16 , 2011 -rrb- was an israeli pilates instructor , born in kibbutz neve ur in northern israel .
at the age of 25 , she was struck and killed by two french nationals , claude khayat -lrb- dual french-israeli national -rrb- and eric robic , who were driving a black bmw sports utility vehicle on september 16 , 2011 in tel aviv .
the two left the accident scene and fled to france to avoid criminal prosecution , where they accepted responsibility for the crime and expressed their regret .
the israeli and french authorities were in close communication with each other on how to proceed , as the french law of extradition , like israel 's , does not allow extradition of nationals , except to countries of the european union , to bring them to justice .
in july 2012 , after an official complaint from the zeitouni family , france launched a criminal investigation into the death of lee zeitouni that led to khayat and robic being charged for homicide , failure to assist a person in danger and unlawful escape to avoid responsibility .
in december 2014 eric robic , the driver of the car that hit zeitouni , was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to 5 years in prison .
passenger claude khayat was found guilty of deliberately failing to provide assistance to a person in danger and was sentenced to 15 months .
