Prime Minister-designate Benjamin Netanyahu’s trial continues today (Tuesday), with the cross-examination of those who testified yesterday in the 1,000 case. During the hearing, Judge Friedman-Feldman harshly attacks the prosecution, for not having a witness ready for tomorrow: “It cannot be that it is impossible to prepare for there to be witnesses on standby, there are 330 witnesses in this case! You are putting us in a situation where we have no choice but to cancel hearings, this is absolutely not vindicated”
Accountant Zeev Feldman, who was the business manager of Arnon Milchan and James Packer, said yesterday during the main investigation in which he testified that during his testimony beginning in 2010 he was considered a returning resident and this “entitles those who receive mainly a 10-year tax exemption in Israel and regarding income outside to Israel, also exempt from reporting.
When Feldman was asked what he knew about the degree of importance he saw, the witness replied: “It brought him benefits.” Feldman added that Milchan “was interested in an extension, but I thought it was neither possible nor desirable. I am with the remnants of the system man, the tax authorities are rightly opposed to this amendment.”
According to Feldman, he proposed to promote the construction of a factory for assembling buses and trains in Israel, where the workers would be Palestinians and Jordanians, and the products would be exported to the countries of the Middle East. Legislation was required for the establishment of the plant, and Milchan turned to the Prime Minister at the time, Netanyahu, to promote it.
Feldman said that Milchan asked him whether to “address the issue to the Prime Minister, to the Minister of Finance… one of the things that came up as part of the talks on an extension, that it be conditional on a certain scope of activity in Israel,” he said. What should happen, Feldman asked. “Legislation”. replied
