Serious Crimes Case (Beer Sheva) 63357-03-18 State of Israel – F.M.D. V. Assaf Masoud Suissa - part 62

According to him, he arrived at the house of Defendant 1 at about midnight, and before the deceased arrived, Defendant 1 showed him that he was taking a sock and putting it in his pocket, but he did not know why and "I did not ask because I did not understand."  When the deceased arrived, they met him at the entrance to the house of Defendant 1, and Defendant 1 told him to transfer the money to him somewhere else so that the police would not see them, and they drove to the forest.  Defendant 2 answered the interrogators' questions that the drugs were in the house of Defendant 1; that he does not know why the money was not given to the deceased when he arrived at the house, and that the money was not on him; When asked what was the logic in paying the deceased elsewhere for fear of the police, when the drugs were already in the house, he replied that it was the decision of defendant 1 and the deceased, and he did not ask any questions.  After a number of similar questions and answers on this matter, he said that Defendant 1 "planned with him that in any case, if he succeeded in buying the drugs, [Defendant 1] would want to buy more from him, as I told you...  Because [Defendant 1] told him that a place had been determined, in this place [the deceased] would always put the drugs, because [Defendant 1] also talked to him about the quantity he wanted to buy, a larger amount, between half a kilogram and four hundred grams... [Defendant 1] told him that as soon as it was settled, a place would be set in this place, I would put the money for you in the same forest he wanted to meet, and [the deceased] would leave the drugs, and from here to there they should not meet anymore...  He didn't want to deal with it at the entrance to his house because he was afraid that the police would come" (ibid., at pp. 26-29).  He later said that defendant 1 told the deceased that the money was not on him but somewhere else (ibid., at pp. 30, 33).  Defendant 2 further stated that when he arrived at the home of defendant 1, he told him that they needed to change clothes before the incident, and he changed into clothes he had taken from defendant 1 (ibid., at pp. 43-44).
