State witness in Zagori trial: Investigator tried to coordinate my testimony with another state witness

The state witness in the murder cases of Tal Corcus and Elisha Sabah, in which defendants Yaniv Zagori and Michael Moore, said on Thursday, while giving his testimony in court, that one of his investigators tried to coordinate the testimony with the testimony of another state witness. The judges were amazed to hear the statements of the state, who were told in response to the prosecutor's question whether words were entered by the police or the prosecutor's office. "All I said was my words, no one put words to me," he testified.

He said that in 2018, after he had already signed an agreement up to the state and ended the investigations in his case, he was called for further investigation in the Negev YMAR regarding another case, in the case of another murder. "They put me in an interrogation room and one of the investigators tells me I'm doing something with you that I never did - Dry investigation, "until the state said that the investigator had taken a page showing him another person's investigation (up to state)." Show me exactly what he said. I told him it wasn't true, I didn't align with anyone else's testimony, "he told the State.

The state witness said that the investigator had told him completely different things about his testimony, "About a meeting I had with the state witness, I did not agree to say what the state had said." Then, he told the court in court, "When I finished the meeting with him, I felt something was wrong, I told those responsible, that evening I sat with the prosecutor's office and they told me 'Listen, if you don't tell everything that was now an agreement violation.' There happened to be a YMR, and I was told that the DIP should go with it. "

He added: "After two months, I was pulled out of prison. I told the interrogator everything he had with the interrogator. I told them that everything the other witness said, as far as I'm concerned, I didn't say it," he told the state. At the hearing, it became clear that a complaint had been filed with the DIP, but the case was closed after they chose to accept the policeman's claims.

For years, Zagori was considered the head of the great crime organization in the south, with his right hand being Tal Corcus. Zagori fully trusted Corkus until the latter stopped and opened his mouth against the "boss" sent in 2009 to seven years in prison following testimony. In 2016, about six months before Corcus was liquidated, while he was in custody for violent offenses against his divorced Deborah Hirsch, the latter was shot dead in the eyes of her children in Beer Sheva. It is suspected that Hirsch was killed for revenge for Zagori's overthrow by Corcus.

In June 2017, on suspicion, Corcus, who was then a state witness, was assassinated by Zagori's revenge for having previously framed him. A few months later, Elisha Sabah, the man who led to the conviction of Zagori's Adam the "hired killer," was eliminated. Following Sabah's testimony, Ital, represented by attorney Moshe Yochai, was sent to prison. Today, in addition to attempting to coordinate testimony by investigators, the state said that the code name given by Zagori, represented by Attorney Moshe Sherman, to murder was by Bohadana. Noy Yehli Sperling and Eden Nahum.

During the investigation of the present case, a close associate of Zagori was recruited as a state witness and allegedly criminalized the organization's leaders, after being present at the killings and knowing about the planning that preceded them. The indictment attributes to the defendants felony murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, conspiracy to commit crime, weapons offenses, disruption of court proceedings and other offenses.
