On a date unknown to the accused, the defendant forged a document pretending to be a sale agreement between the owner and Halabi, by signing the sale agreement seven signatures pretending to be the signatures of the owners, without their knowledge and without legal authority, signing a signature pretending to be Halabi's signature and also stating that the monetary consideration for the land was ILS 30,000.  Subsequently, the defendant forged a "Declaration of Sale/Purchase of a Right in Real Estate" to be submitted to the Ministry of Real Estate Taxation and a request to register a warning note.

On August 4, 2015, the defendant submitted the forged sale agreement and the request to register a warning note to the Land Registry Office in Haifa, and based on this, a warning note was immediately registered in the Land Registry.  On that date, the defendant submitted the declaration and the forged sale agreement to the Land Tax Authority, with the intention of obtaining approval for registration in the land books, with the aim of transferring the rights in the land in the name of Halabi in the land registry, without the consent and knowledge of the owner.

On February 25, 2016, the assessment was closed without approval for registration, in light of the suspicion that arose in the real estate taxation in Haifa that the transaction was forged.
