On the same day, 30 August 2022, at 2:30 P.M., the envelope was opened again, this time by interrogator Mordechai Solomovich, and its contents were again documented.  Solomovich also noticed the paper clipping among the documents in the envelope, and after taking a photo of it, he put it in a secure bag.  The interrogator also photocopied the other documents that were in the envelope, and marked each of them with his initials and a successive serial number [P/139 - Solomovich Photocopying Memorandum].

I will note at this point that for a reason that has not been sufficiently clarified, there is no complete match between the photocopies of the documents edited by Vaknin and those edited by Solomovich.  Thus, for example, in the appendices to Exhibit P/139 there are 4 different delivery notes on behalf of K.I.A.  Odem Trading and Investments Ltd.", while in the appendices to Exhibit A/138 only 3 of them are documented.  However, an examination of the visual documentation clearly shows that these are generally the same documents, and that the gaps in documentation apparently stem from human error, which have no real repercussions in our case, and there is certainly no basis for the defense's petition for the invalidation of the evidence due to the gaps in the documentation, especially in view of the fact that there is no dispute regarding the presence of the paper clipping in the collection of documents seized in the compartment of the driver's seat of the Mazda.

Naturally, the question of who belonged to the documents stored in the Mazda driver's door is of great importance, since locating the paper clipping between them may indicate that he belongs to that person.  A perusal of the collection of documents documented in P/138 and P/139 shows that whenever any conclusions can be drawn in relation to the owners of the document, it is the documents associated with the defendant.  For example, the same 4 delivery notes mentioned above were delivered to the "Premium Luxury Jewelry" business, which is managed by the defendant.  Receipts in the defendant's name for laundry services, handwritten documents related to his jewelry business, invoices and receipts in his name from other businesses, etc., are also documented there.  In fact, the only two documents that bear the details of another person are a delivery note of an iPhone 13 Pro Max phone kit, and an appendix to the same certificate, dated July 18, 2022, which was produced in the name of "Abu Khalifa Metal Plating", and not in the name of the defendant.
