Priit Toobal in 2011

Priit Toobal (born 1 November 1983 in Suure-Jaani) is an Estonian politician. He was a member of Riigikogu between 2011 and 2015. He represented the Järva- and Viljandimaa constituency as a member of the Estonian Centre Party.

In October 2014, Toobal and Lauri Laasi were found guilty of instigating unauthorized surveillance after they had encouraged a third party to hack the email account of Hannes Rumm. Harju County Court gave Toobal a one-year suspended sentence with three years probation. Toobal and Laasi both appealed.[1] The case was taken to the Supreme Court, which upheld the previously given sentence in November 2015.[2] Toobal resigned from the parliament two days before the verdict.[3]
