Moshe Shovel, a resident of Haifa, kidnapped the bank employee and threatened her - so that she would rob the branch. The district judge in Haifa said that this is a story as if taken from an imaginary thriller.

"The request for forgiveness 'from the one who was hurt' does not show the depth of the nightmare he caused," Judge Porat said. Shuvel was sentenced to seven years in prison, two years of probation and compensation of NIS 80,000.
