State Attorney's Office, filed today (Tuesday) the High Court its response Ometz movement, due to the failure to open an investigation against Brigadier General Ephraim Bracha, given the Pinto's allegations, according to which gave him some money.
In its response to the prosecutor's office tells the progression of the case.
According to Pinto, he was questioned nine times. Initially he denied any possibility that HE had given money to Brigadier General. But during the second investigation confirmed that gave him money but there is no question of bribery.
During the first investigation, conducted on 25th Tishrei, Rabbi vowed not to have given bribe in his life: "I swear in G-d's name I didn’t bribe, if I bribed Ephraim Bracha, I will not finish this year. I swear in God.
In the same investigation, Pinto praised Bracha, "Ephraim Bracha is a righteous person and honest and fair, and a special person, I never asked, never told, everything is fine. ... he never did anything to me."
But his second interrogation has been understood that the provision of $ 200,000 was recorded, from his wife, to Bracha's wife, and his wife even admitted it. Rabbi then changed his version and admitted that he gave fraud to Bracha. He also claimed that there were transfers of funds prior to him to Bracha, adding that at least ten people around him knew about the alleged provision of benefits. But they often contradicted his claims, according to the prosecution.
During these investigations was an attempt to find out what was the motive gift with $ 200,000 and the provision of additional funds in the past.
According to the prosecution, versions of the Rabbi's interrogations changed during the investigation and were not consistent. "Quite a few of the claims contradicted interrogations," writes the prosecution, "for example, in his investigation claimed that he learned of the economic hardship of Bracha as" big criminal "told him that asked him the sum of $ 400,000. This point - was examined and rebutted."
Rabbi argued that reporting to FBI about his connections with Bracha. Stressing again "I do not give a bribe, I do not move like that without the FBI. You hear some conversations I talk to the FBI? Hear? Answer me. Yes?"
But part of an investigation conducted deposition in the United States. The conclusion was formulated after receiving answers from the US and checking all the evidence gathered was that a long list of issues it became clear that the allegations of Pinto were found to be baseless allegations and explicitly contradicted by the FBI.
According to the prosecution, the wife of Rabbi contradicted the words of her husband, and said she is not aware of the provision of benefits prior to this. "In light of the above comments" was written at the end of long answer, "there is no room for the intervention of the honorable court discretion prosecuting authorities, which enabled most, reasonably relies on solid foundations. Therefore, the Honorable Court to reject this petition out of hand."
Associates of Rabbi say in response, "cover-ups of the State Attorney's embarrassing and all his tricks and the tricks she does to avoid interrogation of Ephraim Bracha, will not help in the end. High Court Judges will soon investigate the chagrin of the prosecution and the whole truth will come out.
More associates say: "The relationship between the Rabbi and Arbib and Bracha was a close friend of followers listed on the court of the Rabbi. Unfortunately, from the moment Rabbi was asked to update on Menashe Arbib's ongoing support he gave Bracha, Arbib and Bracha made a joint project of sewing plot and the blame of the monthly help given in return any compensation and aid activities to the Hasidim yard. "
"The rabbi kept for a year silent about favors Arbib enjoyed. But when it became clear that exploits the silence Arbib great cast slander the entire backyard, there was no choice but to stand up and expose the close relationship and family that existed between them and the Hasidim.
