Although these conversations (from January 2018) do not directly relate to the work that is the subject of indictment 6 (from May 2016), they do indicate Taburinsky's motivation to give a gift to the defendant, who gives him jobs, makes decisions, and influences the amount of the retraining payment to the main contractor, Taburinsky.
- To the question of how the payment to Genkin was attributed to computer communications in Hasharon Prison (P/98 D.B.S.'s accounting card report), when Genkin issued an invoice for this work at a private address in Rishon LeZion, he first replied that the clerks had associated the payment, and when asked on what basis they had done so, he replied that he may have told them to do so. Later in his testimony, he noted that Genkin complained to Michael that the defendant did not pay him for the work, and the witness instructed Michael and the office to pay Genkin, so as not to harm Genkin. To the question of whether he paid the defendant's private expenses, he replied: "Call it how you want a private expense... I was not interested at the time," and even added that he did not tell the defendant that he had paid Genkin (p. 760). However, when the prosecutor asked the witness to read the indictment to which he had confessed, the witness confirmed that the defendant had asked him to pay his debt (pp. 761-762).
Cross-examination (transcript of June 23, 2022)
- To the question of whether he knew the chain of decision-making in the IPS regarding construction matters, the witness replied that in the Central District the defendant was competent (p. 311), and added: "He is a construction officer, he can tell me Doron will work" (p. 312). There were also other factors besides the defendant (p. 312).
Re-investigation
- The witness was asked why he had paid Genkin for the work he had done for the defendant in his private home. Charge 6 was read to him, and finally he responded: "So here, so that's why I paid" (p. 317).
