In September 2008, Israeli Attorney General, Menachem Mazuz, ordered the police to open a criminal investigation against New Profile because of allegations of "incitement to draft dodging" and helping people secure exemptions fraudulently.
On April 26, 2009, 8 New Profile activists were detained and the organization's computers were confiscated.
