The witness, Mr. Peretz: The answer is yes.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: The answer is yes, that is, every time you open a company, you are partners.
The witness, Mr. Peretz: It is also possible to make a partnership,
The Honorable Judge Shaked: So the company's matter as far as you are concerned is for tax purposes,
The witness, Mr. Peretz: Yes.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: For needs, I don't know, others, me, what?
The witness, Mr. Peretz: It is also possible to be a partner without the same explanation that you said.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: Even without the company.
The witness, Mr. Peretz: That's right.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: In other words, the fact that you open a company doesn't change the situation.
The witness, Mr. Peretz: No.

The witness adds:
The Honorable Judge Shaked: ...In 4 of these companies that you just mentioned are not part of the account,
The witness, Mr. Peretz: Yes.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: You were partners in your eyes, as you see, just as you are partners in manpower companies that are the subject of this case.
The witness, Mr. Peretz: That's right.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: I understand. In other words, as I asked about half an hour ago or more, any company that you establish with a partner in quotation marks, a shareholder, or will later establish with a shareholder in that company, is a partnership of yours, that's what you call it, those of personnel that were split because of regulatory constraints and also those that are really partners who did not have constraints of one kind or another that are not part of the accounting. That's your vision. Yes.
The witness, Mr. Peretz: Yes.
The Honorable Judge Shaked: You don't differentiate between the companies, sorry to interrupt, between the companies that are not part of the accounting, the real estate companies and others in which you are a partner and these companies, you are a partner, you are a partner with a person who establishes a company with you when you establish this company.
