The state, through the police, rejected the request of the budget control, the football association and Betar Jerusalem to repay the three checks made by Moshe Hogg for control as security in the amount of about NIS 1 million each check, and a total of NIS 3 million. It is because, regardless of the seizure of the accounts, they do not have enough money to cover this demand. Inspector Rotem Shapira, on behalf of the police, stated in response to the court in the matter:
He further adds: “Promises held by the control were apparently unrealizable without any connection to the respondent, and represent a right to funds that do not exist at all, were never seized and do not form part of the suspect’s seizure of the bank accounts from which the checks were drawn. It was also stated that the bank’s accounts do not have enough money to cover the collateral in the amount of NIS 3 million.
The police further add: “Yes, regardless of the seizure of the accounts, if the above bank accounts of the suspect had not been seized, and the applicants would have presented the two checks drawn from the bank account in the amount of NIS 1 million each, and a check drawn from an account. Another bank in the amount of NIS 1 million, it is probable that the bank would not have paid the checks, as there was not enough coverage in the accounts against the checks. The applicants state that “However, the suspects’ bank accounts did not have these amounts, so the request is to release funds that do not exist at all, without the required minimum factual basis, and that is enough to reject it.”
The police further add: “Beyond what is required, it should be noted that the court has already said its words regarding a request for the use of funds seized from the forfeiture fund for various purposes. It is known that the petitioners are not the sole creditors of the suspect, but specific creditors of different and varied types of creditors, in different marital statuses, and some of the creditors are victims of the offense in this case. They are investors who transferred money to the suspect, and are currently facing an empty trough, and even these are not entitled to be reimbursed from the forfeiture fund. “
The police accuse: “Therefore, it appears that the suspect acted in bad faith in front of the control and in front of the respondent and seeks to make a band-aid of the arrangement between him and the control, which only three weeks ago took effect of the court decision. Moreover, apparently, the suspect also led the applicants in denial, when he gave his consent to the request, which has no basis in fact. “
“Where the suspect gives his consent to this request, then in practice it is a request on behalf of the suspect and on behalf of the control, his obligatory creditor, for the release of funds seized for the purpose of paying the suspect’s debts to the creditor, the control. In this case, the suspect must attach an affidavit of all sources of income in Israel and abroad and references to establish his financial capabilities to repay his debts to the control and Betar Jerusalem, and to keep Betar Jerusalem a living business.
Celebrate’s response will be brought when received.
