The defendant confirmed that a claim for dismissal had been filed. He also confirmed that the deceased and an attorney from his office arrived at the compound in coordination with his lawyer Alan Asherat and with him, according to the court's decision, on two different dates. The defendant claimed that in January 2019 there was no argument in which he raised his voice against the deceased, but rather that he put his hand on his shoulder, during a conversation and as a sign of friendship. In February 2019, there was no confrontation between him and the deceased, but the deceased asked him to open an iron door near the burning building, which was locked with an external lock. The defendant told the deceased and the police that he did not have a key, and that the warehouse was rented to another, who was holding equipment belonging to him. Since he does not have a key and the tenant's consent is required, the tenant must be called and the opening of the warehouse must be coordinated with him. In the presence of police officers who were called to the scene, the defendant called the tenant, who was in Tel Aviv at the time, and made an appointment with him the next day at 9:00 a.m. Thus it was, the tenant arrived, opened the door of the warehouse, and after the warehouse was documented, the tenant locked the warehouse and continued on his way.
As for the incident at Moshe's office, it was claimed that the defendant did indeed come to his office, but did not threaten or beat him. He didn't even drop a closet deliberately, but his shoulder hit the bookcase without fixation, inadvertently, as he reached for the doorknob to leave the office. The defendant picked up the fallen. In the background of the meeting was a preliminary meeting, before a hearing that was supposed to take place in a court of justice. It was set for two days later, in view of the heirs' desire to hold the hearing there.
With regard to the injunction filed with the Haifa District Court, the defendant denied ignorance, and claimed that he was not aware of the proceeding at all. In fact, he first learned of this lawsuit about five months after he was arrested in connection with the case at hand, and while he was detained in the Kishon detention center.
