To the full article

During the week, Klibnov, who is suspected of taking bribes, receiving anything fraudulently under aggravated circumstances, false registration in corporation documents and fraud and breach of trust in a corporation, was released under full house arrest.

The Magistrate's Court even ruled that he would be removed from the bank for 30 days.

Cohen's detention was extended by three days at the beginning of the week, for the reason that there have been "developments that strengthen the suspicions against him."

During the investigation at Blade 433 it emerged that Klibnov granted exceptional credit terms, not under his authority, to the project in exchange for a bribe, when he approved for Sami Nofi financing for the project at 80% while the bank's procedures allowed him to approve only up to 70%.

Klibnov said in court last week that “the 80% funding was personally approved by the bank’s CEO.

The police claim that Klibnov arrived with his wife on vacation at the Dan Hotel in Eilat in 2018 with funding from Nofi.

The police even received several invoices from the hotel in which it can be seen that Nofi paid out of pocket for the accommodation at the hotel.

A source close to Nofi denied the police allegations, saying he was known as a "pampering friend" who cared about his friends.

It was also alleged that Nofi had extensive connections in Eilat and only took care of upgrading Klibnov's room in the hotel, which according to his associate did not cost him money.

In addition, an associate said that Nofi knows how to host, but does not pay for others and does not give gifts.
