The Facts of the Second Indictment

  1. Consciously, which is not known to the accuser, on and around September 13, 2012, Fatima Qassem (hereinafter: "Fatma") approached Majda, as part of her real estate brokerage, in order to purchase an area of 500 square meters of land.

Subsequently, the defendant and Majda agreed to deceive Fatmeh, in such a way that they would present her with a false representation that they intended to purchase land for her, which they did not possess and that they had no ability or permission to sell (hereinafter: the "Summary").

Subsequently, in accordance with the summary and in order to promote it, Majida presented Fatmeh with a false representation whereby a 500 square meter plot of land in Block 11501, Plot 20, located in the Daliyat al-Carmel Local Council (hereinafter: the "Real Estate"), owned by a family from Tel Aviv represented by the defendant and offered for sale (hereinafter: the "Misrepresentation").  Majda and Fatma agreed that the price of the land would be ILS 240,000 (hereinafter: the "Transaction").

In accordance with the agreement and in order to promote it, Majda offered Fatma to use the services of the defendant, in order to represent her in the transaction, and she agreed.  Fatma met with the defendant, at Majda's initiative and in her presence, and the defendant stated to Fatma that he represented the landowners living in Tel Aviv.

On 13 September 2012, the defendant, Majda, Fatmeh and others met at the defendant's office in Daliyat al-Carmel.  On this occasion, following the misrepresentation, Fatma signed an irrevocable power of attorney in favor of the defendant for the purpose of purchasing the land and transferred to the defendant and Majda a payment of ILS 240,000 in cash in exchange for the transaction.  The defendant or Majda, or anyone on their behalf, did not provide Fatma with a receipt or tax invoice for such payment.  After the transaction was executed, the defendant, Majida, Fatima and the others went to Majida's home in Daliyat al-Carmel, where they celebrated the execution of the transaction.
