Police: Katsawa private investigators put pressure on witnesses


The court lifted the ban on publishing information on the case of former President Moshe Katsav. As it became known, the police suspect the family of the ex-head of state in hiring private detectives to put pressure on women who filed complaints against Katsawa.

According to the police, private detectives met with witnesses and tried to obtain information that Katsav could use during the trial to cast doubt on the reliability of their testimonies.

Investigators detained two private detectives, the owner of a detective agency and one of his subordinates, and questioned them. At night, detectives were released from custody, as they collaborated with the police. The name of the agency, as well as the names of the witnesses who were prosecuted by the detectives, are prohibited from publication, the press service of the police emphasizes.

As part of this investigation, Moshe Katsav, his brothers Yoram and Lior, and the son of ex-president Noam were also questioned yesterday.

Avigdor Feldman, Avdocat Katsava, told Kol Yisrael on the air that the ex-president’s family had indeed hired private detectives, but there’s no offense. The detectives, for their part, pledged to perform the work within the framework prescribed by law, the lawyer added.

Feldman said that the detectives should have talked with a hotel employee, who, he said, was not found by the police. According to the prosecution, one of the crimes incriminated to Katsavu happened at the hotel. In addition, the detectives were supposed to get the testimony of another witness, whose testimony refused.

Recall, Katsav was found guilty of two rapes and sentenced to seven years in prison. The execution of the sentence is deferred until the appeal submitted by the former head of state to the Supreme Court. The corresponding meeting is scheduled for August 8.

Kol Israel Radio reported that Magistrate Justice Rishon Lezion only allowed the publication of information on this case from 12:00, but ITV Channel 2 transmitted details before noon.

According to Kol Israel, private detectives charge an average of 200 shekels per hour for surveillance. Prices depend, in particular, on the reputation of the agency. According to Peer-Lee Shakhar, the Katsav family paid approximately five thousand shekels a day to hired detectives (about 40,000 rubles).

Private detective. Israel.

Private detective. Israel.

I bet that if you ask ten oncoming questions, “What does a private detective do?” then in ten cases, the respondent smirks knowingly, saying, by the order of the horned husbands, he traces wives. Contrary to popular belief, adultery is only a small part of the work of detective agencies.

As for the problems of the family, the private investigator has to deal with family affairs of a different sort. It's no secret that today's teens deliver a lot of trouble to their parents. ………… to take appropriate measures, and against which measures, because in order to start treatment, you need to at least know what exactly the person needs to be treated for. Of course, only a fairly wealthy family can afford to turn to a private investigator. By the way, our expert detective Maxim Gurevich claims that in the vast majority of cases parents are interested in the "secrets" of their son and only occasionally - "girlish secrets."

First story

In one decent house in Herzliya, the phone rang. A pleasant male baritone, making sure that his interlocutor is the mother of a 19-year-old boy, without long preface said: "beloved son" does not return debts. And they accumulated neither more nor less than 80 thousand shekels. The head of the family on business was for a long time abroad, so all the hard care lay on his mother’s shoulders. She turned to a detective agency, where the first thing she was asked to tell in detail about her son and his lifestyle. It turned out that the guy did not work, did not study, spent time in entertainment, returned home in the morning and, accordingly, woke up at two or three in the afternoon. On the day of adulthood, he received a truly royal gift from his father - a sports Volkswagen. Military service? This question was “closed” with one call to a high-ranking friend, a companion of his father.

The woman asked for a start to address two problems. Firstly, to find out what her son is doing, where he got such debts from and what it threatens him with. And secondly, to ensure its safety at least during the investigation.

-So, Maxim, discover the secrets of the craft, tell the details!

Well, the most optimal in this situation was to establish outdoor surveillance. This allows you to reliably find out how a teenager spends time, what he does, and, if necessary, to quickly intervene. It turned out quickly enough that in the daytime and in the evening he was talking with the same loafers as he was: sitting in a cafe, walking in shopping centers, sometimes going to the movies. Toward night, he would come to places that in our prehistoric homeland were called the thieves "raspberries" and where the whole night there was a big game of cards and dice. Moreover, our hero was a well-known and popular person in these places: he immediately gave way to a table, and all his wishes were fulfilled instantly. The explanation was simple - he received weekly for small expenses two thousand shekels.

And let them all down at the game table?


Yes, in most cases. Sometimes he was given a little win so as not to lose a profitable customer.

But after all, playing a loan is usually not practiced in such institutions ...

There are no hard and fast rules. You know it like in a bank. The bank even with pleasure gives the client to get into the "minus" on the ears, the more the better. If only there remained the opportunity to receive this debt (and at the same time huge interest) someday.

And in the underground "raspberries" such problems, as I understand it, does not exist?

Of course, they will receive all the money from their debtor in full.

And in this example you cited too? How did your investigation end?

Having received the results of our investigation, the customer paid all the debts of her son and sent him abroad to her father.

So that he is under strict male supervision?

No, rather, so that my father now had a headache ...


Second story

In terms of social status, the customer clearly belonged to the middle class - I have a trained eye. “Typical Jewish mother”, who is worried about her little son, who is already 23 years old. The reason for the appeal was his connection with “some girl”, if not a prostitute, then a night club stripper. Or maybe even a porn model. Relations between mother and son have recently completely deteriorated. When she tried to “open his eyes” to him, another quarrel, scandal, leaving home followed. And recently, he disappeared altogether, rented an apartment somewhere along with “her”, occasionally calls, but does not come home. Where is he? How does he live? Didn’t you get into a bad company?

In the course of our investigation, it turned out that maternal fears are in vain: the guy continues to work, by the way, in a very prestigious place with the prospect of promotion. He earns pretty well, rents a good apartment, of course, together with his girlfriend. Moreover, it turned out that he has serious views on her ...
Well, what about the girl? How justified were maternal fears?


Well, you can’t say it unambiguously. Of course, she did not engage in prostitution, did not work as a stripper, and she did not act for porn.

That is, a normal girl, and the whole problem is a typical dislike of the future mother-in-law to the future daughter-in-law ...

Let's just say this. Not so perfect. We found out that she doesn’t work anywhere, occasionally meets other men, receives quite valuable gifts from them, which she brings home and doesn’t even especially hide from her roommate.

And all this you told your mother?


Of course, it was she who was our client. However, in parallel, we tried to give her some recommendations. The fact that her son is an adult, responsible person, able to take care of himself. And if he is satisfied with such a woman and such a relationship, then nothing is worth doing. For any interference from the outside will only worsen the relationship between mother and son. In such cases, it makes sense to let things go by themselves, life itself will make the necessary adjustments.

Third story

Since we today turned to family matters, we will have to tell about the “orders” of husbands. And not necessarily it is some terrible jealousy eager to convict the unfaithful spouse. Sometimes the goal is much more prosaic.

Here is the order we received from Moscow from an Israeli citizen leading his successful business there. What interested him? The lifestyle of his wife and children, their pastimes, a circle of acquaintances, entertainment spending ... All our leading questions about his suspicions and specific faces, he passed by. Strange, but our business is small, the client’s desire is supposed to fulfill. For several weeks we “sat on the tail” of his wife and two minor daughters. Honestly and meticulously recorded all their meetings, trips, purchases - a normal Israeli family, there’s nothing to even cling to. So reported to the customer. Honestly, I expected some complaints from him: they say that they worked poorly, didn’t “dig up”. To his surprise, he was quite pleased and even paid us bonuses.

What is the prize for?

There is such a picture. For several years he was divorced from his wife and regularly paid alimony, and quite decent. And I really wanted to reduce this amount somewhat. His lawyer gave such advice: to prove with documents that his money is spent irrationally and not always for its intended purpose.

And your report came in very handy for him ...

That's it, now he had all the trump cards in his hands in order to reduce the amount of alimony.

Maxim, from all that I heard today, I conclude that the Israeli private investigation is reaching the world level.

Well, look, we are working on the orders of the Israelis, and the Israelis are such a people that they can be found anywhere in the world: from New Zealand to Alaska.

Private Detective - The Right Hand of Israeli Lawyers

Private detective in Israel - a fairly common profession, quite ordinary, has long lost its pristine romantic halo. Today we are publishing an interview with a new generation of Israeli private detective from among Russian repatriates, young but already well established in the private detective services market, Maxim Gurevich, who kindly agreed to answer our correspondent's questions in Jerusalem.

The peculiarity of the work of private detectives in Israel is often called their close cooperation with lawyers ...

This is a known fact. Private investigators are the right-hand man of Israeli lawyers who constantly engage them in their work. Some lawyers work in parallel even with several private detectives to immediately engage an unoccupied private investigator if necessary. I also constantly work with several familiar lawyers. Our cooperation is carried out in two ways: sometimes the lawyer directs the client directly to me, sometimes he acts on behalf of the client, for example, if he wants to use the services of a detective on condition of anonymity. At the same time, the client can pay for the services of a detective agency by bank transfer or through a law office. The data obtained with the help of a private detective is used by the lawyer both directly in the trial and for preliminary negotiations with the defendants. There are times when it is a private detective who is independently negotiating with a second party. All information on these cases is usually collected by the detective before filing a lawsuit. After filing a lawsuit, getting this information is sometimes much more difficult, and sometimes simply impossible.

What are the main areas (directions) of using a private detective in Israel? Are there specialties in private Israeli detectives?

There are a lot of such directions. So, for example, three or four years ago, during the collapse of large firms that worked in the field of new Hi-Tech technologies, when some of the partners were afraid of betrayal by their partners, tracking was ordered by company managers for partners suspected in the desire to make money on the side by selling any latest technology or information about the difficult situation of your company. Nowadays, orders are also frequent from the heads of enterprises and organizations who want to track their employees who are suspected of theft or illicit connections. An equally common area of activity of individual detective firms is the recruitment of informants to collect any necessary information. Since some necessary information is sometimes impossible to obtain legally, for example, about the presence of real estate, bank accounts, possession of telephone lines or, say, about previous convictions of an object, such information is obtained through informants who are acquired for this in various fields, and then either use it themselves, or they sell it to customers or private detectives who do not have their own sources of information in this area. In addition, a significant portion of Israeli detectives also specialize in conducting economic investigations. For example, a debtor declares in court that he has no property - neither real estate, nor bank accounts. A private detective, on the instructions of the plaintiff, begins to identify his assets, checks whether any property of the debtor is recorded on his relative, friend or mistress. Does he really have a house, a car, any other value that can be arrested in order to recover the amount of his debt. This area of activity of private detectives is adjoined by often checked by him inspections of partners in transactions. A private detective checks how clean the second side of the negotiation process is, what is the level of risk of concluding a deal with her. Does the partner have a criminal record? It turns out whether in the past he had precedents for violations of his obligations to other partners, fraud, economic miscalculations. Does the information about the available assets communicated to the transaction partner and the extent to which the fulfillment of the obligations undertaken by him is true? A private detective is required to check and calculate all this, since he is responsible for his conclusion. To complete such orders, a complete set of all the methods and techniques for obtaining operational information is often used, as well as attracting highly qualified specialists in economics, doing business and others to fulfill the order. Another powerful area of private detective work in Israel is the search for fake (counterfeit) products. We are talking about fake products that are in demand among the population of such world-famous companies as Philippe Maurice, Microsoft, Fizer (Viagra), Nike, Finlandia Vodka, Absolut and others. For the sale of all kinds of fakes, little Israel is one of the first places in the world. The execution of such orders is usually contacted by the police, which welcomes this, because it has its own preferences and, first of all, it is engaged in the fight against organized crime, drug trafficking, that is, it does not have enough strength to properly deal with fakes. So, in the police of the Central District, to which Tel Aviv belongs, only three or four operas are engaged in this. Therefore, large firms, especially American ones that distribute original products, finance the work of private detectives to identify fakes. Noteworthy are also the accepted orders to check the reliability of protection of various kinds of objects, to establish whether there are gaps in their protection system. I personally have repeatedly had to carry out orders of this kind - to enter carefully guarded places where access was seemingly completely blocked not only by outsiders, but even by those who work within the same facility and where access is permitted only with special magnetic cards and so on. I’ll also mention such traditional directions in the work of a private detective as the search for hiding defendants, the establishment of places of residence for people who have lost contact with each other. If you try to summarize and summarize in a few words what a private detective in Israel does, we can say that he is only engaged in collecting all kinds of information.

What about the search for evidence of adultery in Israel?

This is also the most famous and popular area of our activity. External observation, fixation of veritable evidence. Wives order surveillance of unfaithful husbands, husbands order unfaithful wives. In these investigations, the private investigator acts as a neutral party that presents only facts to the court, without giving them any assessment. These investigations are usually short, lasting, as a rule, only a few days, because the client usually has fairly accurate assumptions as to where, on which days and with whom the unfaithful spouse spends time. The customer’s problem often consists not only of getting a divorce. Establishing fact of adultery plays a decisive role in the division of property of spouses, since the party not guilty of divorce gets a certain advantage in the court, for example, a woman may require the unfaithful husband to provide her after divorce with the same material standard of living that she had during her marriage. And a woman - the culprit of divorce - may lose everything. As a result of this, spouses are willing to pay any money for receiving data on the spouse's adultery. This happens very often. Therefore, there are many large detective agencies that specialize mainly in divorce cases.

To what extent do private detectives work with insurance companies? It is known that depending on the skill and dexterity of a lawyer, the insurance premium received can vary by tens and hundreds of thousands of shekels ...

This direction is also very developed. It is no secret that in Israel there is a huge number of road traffic accidents and work-related injuries, and people who become victims of their own fault often not only want to play down their guilt, but also make good money from the accident. Conducting investigations commissioned by insurance companies is one of the areas most developed by Israeli private detectives. There are at least two dozen large detective companies working in this direction and they use the work of a hundred or two private detectives. Insurance companies usually order private investigations to reduce insurance premiums. In each case, if there is the slightest doubt about the honesty of the client, a check is immediately carried out. Detectives interview victims, verify the likelihood of their testimony, the actual degree of disability, and not the one their lawyer claims, identify and interview witnesses to the incident. I note that the work of private detectives for insurance companies paid in Israel is very low. Depending on the complexity, such work can cost from 50 to 200-300 shekels per order. (US $ 1 corresponds to approximately 4, 37 - 4.44 shekels), so many private detectives refuse to work with insurance companies, although on the other hand, a sufficient number of small private investigations may well make up the necessary level of earnings.

What is the degree of penetration of a private detective into the personal life of citizens allowed by law?

This question is very complex. Penetration into the personal lives of citizens is unacceptable. For example, if a person is in a secluded place, it is forbidden to film him. Question: what is meant by the term "secluded place"? According to the meaning of the law, this is such a place where the object believes that it is alone with itself and does not assume that someone can spy on it. The toilet cubicle and your own apartment and personal car can be considered as such, but the office of the company does not fit this definition, even if the company belongs to this person. It is also forbidden to remove a person when it degrades his human dignity. For example, a person who swims in the sea without clothes. It is absolutely forbidden to invade the personal lives of citizens, if this is in no way connected with the purpose of the ongoing investigation. Say, investigating the theft, it is impossible to simultaneously record the fact that the suspect is having sex on the side, that is, that he is cheating on his wife for everything else. In these cases, filming is forbidden, and it is even more forbidden to use its results, because it can be qualified as an attempt to blackmail: an attempt to force a person, even if he is innocent, to take someone else's fault, just to keep their adventures on the side secret.

What about audio recording?

Recording of conversations of any kind is permitted only if one of the participants in the conversation agrees to the audio recording. Therefore, a private investigator in all cases has the right to provide his client with a miniature recording device for covert recording of his conversations with someone. A private detective himself also always has the right to record his conversations, being one of the parties to the negotiations. Recording other people's conversations without the consent of at least one of the people communicating with each other is prohibited. However, here, of course, there are well-known tricks. So, the client - the owner of the company - has the right to record his conversations by telephone and generally anything in any room of his company, any of the telephone lines belonging to him, since both the premises and telephone lines are his personal property. The client can take advantage of this when, for example, he wants to establish a secret wiretapping of the conversations of his employees. A private investigator is not required to know the real goals of his client. Or there are times when a spouse allows themselves to communicate with lovers directly from their home phone. In this case, no problems arise: because our client is a co-owner of the telephone line and has the right to record their own conversations. In fact, in both cases, conversations of third parties are recorded in this way - without their knowledge and consent.

Any information obtained by a private investigator can be used in a lawsuit?

Yes. The client can go to court with a clear conscience and present evidence collected by a private detective, any information obtained legally.

In turn, the court, at its discretion, may accept as evidence also other information - collected with some violation of the established procedural rules. This applies only to civil cases, but not the consideration of criminal offenses! Let's say a court can make its decision based on a video of a couple making love in an apartment. The court's business is to establish the truth. And he installs it. However, a private detective who has submitted to the court information obtained in violation of the law risks that the lawyer of the opposing party may file a complaint against him with the College of Private Detectives of Israel. Such a College considers all cases of ethics violations by private detectives and can impose various kinds of penalties on the guilty, up to and including deprivation of his license as a private detective. In addition, the lawyer of the second party to the process may demand compensation from him for the moral damage inflicted on his client and the invasion of his private property ...

What orders have you been filling recently?

Now in my production there are several orders, including those received from my colleague from St. Petersburg. Its essence is that a certain Russian company entered into an agreement with one of the Israeli companies without sufficient verification. After signing the contract at some stage, she had doubts about her partner. The Russians asked me to collect the necessary information and give a conclusion on how much the company risks by signing an agreement. I have to restore the business history of an Israeli company, check whether they have long existed in the market, their solvency; find out whether lawsuits have been brought against them in the past, what is the standard of living of the owners of the company and how much it corresponds to the income indicated by them. It is also necessary to establish to whom the telephone lines of which they reported in Russia are registered. All the information received must be compared with the fact that the owners of this company informed themselves of their St. Petersburg partners at the conclusion of the transaction. In parallel with this, I am conducting an investigation at a large Israeli factory. The owners of this enterprise have developed difficult relations with the local committee, which occupies a very aggressive position. My task is to obtain up-to-date information about the intentions of incitement to cause material damage to the enterprise or about the committee’s readiness to make a reasonable compromise with the administration, as well as to reveal the opinion of the majority of the plant workers about the situation at the plant. A month ago, I was busy fulfilling the order of a certain spouse located in Moscow. He asked to collect information about the lifestyle of his wife living in Israel, with whom he has not been in contact for a long time. M is interested in any information about the personal life of his wife and their son, the wife’s place of work, the kindergarten visited by the child, as well as the standard of living of the family, the real estate she acquired. Earlier, I completed a serious investigation on the order of a large American company interested in seizing their counterfeit products that came to Israel. It took me several months to investigate. During this time, I had to get close to the people who were interested in my customers, and gain confidence in order to keep abreast of their plans, to know where and when the fake products would come to them. In addition, this summer, on the instructions of a major Israeli bank, I also for some time acted as an employee of one of the branches of the same bank. Together with other employees, I received visitors, pretended to perform the minimum duties of a newly hired intern and secretly, without raising any suspicion, monitored several employees. My task was to collect evidence and establish which of them was involved in the theft of money. I always had a dictaphone and a hidden camera with me ... Of course, large investigations commissioned by large companies are most interesting, although it should be recognized that small investigations involving individuals require you to sometimes invest in them the whole soul, concentration and strength of a private detective, that is, as they say, to give everything in full.

Have there been cases when you, as a private detective, wanted to be framed or simply used for unclean purposes?

Yes. A client, a representative of a company from St. Petersburg, told me that his companions in Russia had mastered some new technology for the production of products, and their employee, who had previously worked for them at the company, began to reproduce the same products in Israel. I was asked to check whether the products in Israel are really manufactured using the same technology as in St. Petersburg. I accepted the order, although my intuition told me that the client was not saying something. As a result, it turned out that everything was exactly the opposite. My client and his partners seemed to be negotiating with a company in Israel to obtain new technology, but could not agree, and now they simply wanted to steal it in order to produce products on the Russian market. To do this, they decided to use a private Israeli detective. I refused this order, because I’m not ready to take away from people what is rightfully theirs. Another client asked her employee to follow up to see if she was selling the company's secrets to the side. Subsequently, it turned out that the client merely wanted to know if this woman was dating other men than him. He was simply embarrassed to tell me the truth.

What is the cost of a private detective in Israel? And, in particular, yours?

This question is difficult to answer unequivocally. Recording, for example, on cameras of materials of interest to customers in various private detective agencies can be paid in different ways, on average it is from $ 100 to $ 1,000 per day, depending on the number of people involved in this matter, time spent and travel distance. Therefore, when concluding an agreement, the client usually discusses the proposed project with his lawyer and private investigator in order to choose the best option. Some of the services of a private detective are traditionally paid at a premium, out of touch with the time that they will spend. Sometimes it takes longer to perform the same services than originally assumed, sometimes less, and depending on this, a detective can win or, conversely, lose, which is ultimately offset. As for me, I'm not the most expensive Israeli private detective. My prices are $ 30-40 per hour. In large detective agencies in Israel, the prices for the same services are much higher.
