00The logical conclusion that follows from the body of evidence brought before us is that the use of the Chevrolet vehicle was made solely for the purpose of committing the murder, as an "operational vehicle" whose purpose is one and only.  Therefore, it was of great importance to get rid of him after he had fulfilled his purpose, without it being possible to locate him and attribute him to the defendant.  The defendant did not like what he wanted, in view of the existence of an Itran system in the Chevrolet car, and due to the various security cameras that documented the vehicle's driving route, as well as the detection of his and the deceased's genetic profile on objects removed from the vehicle.  It should also be noted that at the stage of arrest, after he was removed from the Chevrolet and informed that he was "arrested for murder," the defendant did not respond at all, "only nodded his head." At the same time, the defendant did take the trouble to say "because it is not his car, but a car that he received from his friend Eliran, and beyond that, he does not intend to say anything" (see: P/10).  In other words, already at this stage, the defendant Jr.  understood very well that he had to distance himself from the car, since he was aware that police officers, one day before his arrest, had watched the security camera footage at Rafi Abdeyev's business complex.

The Dispute over the Dispute Compound - The Existence of a Motive

The accuser summoned to testify attorney Moran Vaknin , who worked in the deceased's office for over a decade, and was in fact his right-hand man.  Adv. Moran Vaknin testified at length, during several hearings (July 16, 2023, pp.  2929 ff.; July 18, 2023, p.  3006 ff.; September 20, 2023, p.  3085 ff.; November 19, 2023, p.  3087 ff.).

She explained that the deceased had previously represented Shlomo Einhorn (Moshe Einhorn's father) in previous legal proceedings, in which she did not take part.  He later represented his heirs, Moshe Einhorn and Dalia Mandel, who was confidential, and her son, Yosef Mandel (who came in her shoes as heir).  In 2018, the deceased was appointed as a receiver on behalf of the court for plots 48 and 50, and the witness represented the heirs in legal proceedings aimed at realizing the assets of the late Shlomo Einhorn's estate, i.e., to sell the plots.
