"One day I come to the offices and it comes in and Gabi comes in and says to me, listen, you have a greeting, I say from whom? I say now I was 2 floors down, I said, who is 2 floors down? He says to me, Ehud is sitting, who is Ehud? Ehud Olmert, the Honorable Judge, was not a prime minister, so he had a lot of trials, a lot of accusations, he didn't have an indictment, but I said to him, you know what, let's go down and encourage him... I don't remember if there was, listen, Nati, there was no prime minister, there was no minister, there was no member of Knesset, he was in trouble, I tell you, I know because I said about Ashkenazi, let's go and say hello to him... I came to him, he smoked a cigarette and offered a cigarette, I didn't want to smoke, I didn't smoke the truth, and we talked, I encouraged him, I said to him, Ehud, look, if you need something always, you can always turn around, the truth is how we parted, the honorable judge, a month later he gets a call, Avraham, hello, hello, Ehud speaks, I said to him, Ehud, hello, hello, how are you? He says to me, are you in Israel? No, not in Israel, I told him, what are you, he says, I need to talk to you, I told him, no problem, I'm in Israel I'm calling you, I came to Israel, I called, I came to him, he says to me, Avraham, listen, I have to contact you, I don't like it because you said that if I need help with something and that, I said to him, what do you need, Ehud, talk, he told me,  Look, this whole situation of legal expenses I can't stand and I ask if you can help me with financial, financial help for legal expenses, Honorable Judge, I swear to you the first thing I said to him, don't continue because I didn't want him to be humiliated and ask why? I know what it feels like to be a person who comes to ask for help, it's a very unpleasant feeling, because I was really willing to help, it wasn't a problem, I said to him, tell me one more thing, isn't this a legal problem? He says to me, no, I told him, sure? I told him, there's an opinion, is there anything legal about all this? He said to me,  Yes, I told him, who is taking care of this? He says to me Pini Lubin (Attorney Pini Rubin, B.S.), I know Pini Lubin personally, the Honorable Judge, I told him that Pini will contact me and I will help you, Pini sends me a letter from the Honorable Judge, saying that it is, they did something that I don't know how it is called that this thing is allowed, he told me to sign that I am giving it as a gift or as a help,  There is this paper... We will submit this document later.... And that's how I gave him 250,000 two months after that..." (Prov. p. 1215, s. 19).
