The prosecution points to the diary of defendant 1 (P/363), in which the name Avraham Sztgevsky appears (even if the name Sztgevsky is recorded in the diary, the prosecution argues, is a mere spelling error). Next to the name, the man's correct ID number and address, 3 Hanasi St., Holon, and the name "Danidov" appears. In the same diary the name Ben Shimon appears and the address is 42 Remez St., Nahariya.
According to the prosecution's approach, the registration of Sztgagovsky's name alongside the name of Ben Shimon, the owner of Forum Office, is not coincidental, and testifies to the fact that these names were transferred by defendant 1, through Mario Weissman, to the Registrar of Companies, for the purpose of transferring shares from Rig. It was further claimed that no one but defendant 1 could have created the connection between Meir Ben Shimon of Nahariya and Avraham Schatgowski of Holon. Only Defendant 1 had the data to create the connection between the two, in the framework of Defendant 1's involvement with Defendant 3 and Forum Office on the one hand, and with Sztgowski and Danidov on the other.
In addition, the prosecution points to the words of defendant 1 in his statement of May 18, 1999 (P/302), when he said, prior to the date of the transfer of ownership in the name of Sztgagovsky and the Forum Office company, that he intended to purchase the company from Mario Weissman: "He (in the original it is written "or", but there is no doubt that this is a disruption and the reference to the word "he" – A.S.) I'm going to pass this company on to me. I intend to acquire this company." Thus, according to the prosecution, defendant 1 conspired himself to receive ownership of the Marig company, before the shares were transferred in the name of the straw men.
The prosecution further claims that Mario Weissman signed the documents relating to the transfer of shares as early as February 20, 1999, but an invisible hand corrected the date in a manner that was predicted to be October 20, 1999, when the transfer of shares was recorded on November 18, 1999. From this the prosecution concludes that defendant 1 received for his use the Marig company from Mario Weissman as early as February 1999, and therefore it cannot claim that Mario Weissman is involved in the acts and transactions that are the subject of the indictment.
