Regarding this meeting, Shachar added in his testimony that after the assumption was agreed upon, Shkedi told Shachar that Knitürk needed another bid for the procurement portfolio, to which Shkedi's question Shachar replied that it was easiest for Shachar for Knitürk to ask for the offer from Harel, but that Shachar did not care, and that Knitürk then contacted Gilad; Gilad called Shahar nervously and objected to sending an offer, and he also told Knitürk, who later convinced Shachar to call Gilad, and the latter agreed to send an offer after asking Shachar about the prices (p. 3286, paras. 4-14).
This is a patently unreliable version that is unacceptable.
First, the meeting took place after the arrangement and after the coordinated proposals were submitted to ELTA. No evidence was presented for another proposal that was submitted afterwards. Shachar's version is therefore inconsistent with the chronology of the matter. It is inconsistent with the fact that Shachar sent Gilad the hook offer even before the release of the WI (P/52) and with his request for coordination with Naveh as well. It seems that at the basis of the version is Shachar's attempt to benefit the defendants and to shift the arrows of blame at the IAI personnel.
Second, this is a suppressed version. The accuser's claims in her summaries that Shahar did not say the things in his interrogations were not contradicted. In their arguments in relation to the charge at hand, Wei and Harel did not argue otherwise (see also Shachar's (second) interrogation, P/557(2) paras. 339-111, where Shachar was interrogated at length about the coordination of the Anemone Corps without any mention or hint of the version in the testimony, and see in particular the matters in paras. 333-336 which contradict the version in the testimony; and there is nothing in the middle part of s. 440 of the Wii summaries or in vague and general statements about the absence of competition or "show", any actual or sufficient reference in this matter); During the testimonies of Shkedi and Kanitork, the version in question did not come up, even by a hint, and they were not even asked about such a description of the meeting; Nor is this mentioned in any way in Wei and Oshri's reply to the indictment (see in the name at paragraphs 101-114 and in particular in paragraphs 111 relating to the meeting in question) or in Shachar's reply to the indictment (paragraphs 47-50); Oshri, who was present at the meeting and described it in his testimony, also did not mention that Shkedi and Kanitork referred to the need for an additional offer at the meeting, as claimed by Shahar (p. 4588, paras. 21 – p. 4590, para. 17; and see also Oshri's words in his interrogation, P/212, paras. 608-618 that the civil appeal did not know that Gilad had received the prices from me, which contradict Shachar's version regarding the course of the meeting).
