ISRAEL - BOMBS, BANKS AND BOILER ROOMS
Follow the podcast Crime & Punishment 03 in your app:
Read it:
A country that once concluded it had no organized crime watched its crime families fight with bombs in Tel Aviv streets until Israeli police and American courts brought down their leaders — then watched the killing in its Arab towns reach 252 dead in one year. A clerk emptied a bank to pay her brother's gambling debts; an undeclared bank ran inside the Diamond Exchange; Israeli banks hid billions for Americans; sales floors sold a product the Knesset banned. One prime minister went to prison; another went on trial. Covers Yitzhak Abergil and the Abergil organization, Zeev Rosenstein, Etti Alon and the Trade Bank, Bank Hapoalim and Bank Leumi, Lee Elbaz and Yukom Communications, Gery Shalon and Coin.mx, Ehud Olmert and the Holyland affair, and Faina Kirschenbaum and Case 242.
