When asked what Shlomo Metuk's role is in Schloss, he replied : "My connection to Schloss is that I was given tax invoices in the name of Schloss from Uri Resch to issue tax invoices in the name of Schloss, as well as to export goods from Bonded 100 in the name of Schloss, and to suppliers with invoices in the name of Schloss."
In addition, Shlomo Metuk said : "I worked with Uri Resch, I didn't know anyone else except Uri Resh... Uri gave me tax invoices in the name of Schloss and when I made a sale transaction, I issued a tax invoice for it according to the prices set by Uri Resh and also transferred the proceeds to Uri Resh...".
When asked where Schloss was located, Shlomo Metuk replied: "I don't know. Uri Resch lived in Rishpon and there all of Uri Resch's business activity was carried out."
In his testimony in court, Shlomo Metuk claimed that he was also acquainted with Elhanan Tenenbaum of Schloss, but I hold that this statement is false, and to the extent that there is a contradiction between Shlomo Metuk's words in court and what he said in his interrogation, I prefer his words in the interrogation. From his testimony to the police and from them, it clearly emerges that he knew only Uri Resch, as far as the Schloss company is concerned, and that he acted only with him and not with any other party, such as Elhanan Tenenbaum.
In this regard, I reiterate that I have already determined that the testimony of Elhanan Tenenbaum is trustworthy, and I accept his words regarding his limited role in Schloss, which was limited to the issue of bookkeeping only.
To the totality of the evidence that shows that Defendant 1 was the one who operated on behalf of Schloss and submitted tax records and invoices on its behalf, the testimony of Ms. Dina Leibo, who worked in the office of Defendant 1 in Rishpon and was engaged in bookkeeping for the various companies, may also be attached. Among other things, it handled the tax appellant's adjustments to Schloss, without ever encountering Elhanan Tenenbaum regarding this company.
