His defense attorney, Jackie Sagron, made it clear in his opening remarks that, contrary to reports, the suspect is not French and does not speak the language at all.

"He does not fill his mouth with water. He denies any connection to the acts," his lawyer said.

"Take a man, a father to children, and find nothing, no ring, no gold, no millions. Do a search in two places. There will be nothing because there is nothing."

During the hearing, the judge, who did not fully accept the police request to extend his detention for eight days, said that "this is a robbery incident during which a safe room was robbed in Tel Aviv, the suspects broke into about 30 safes and stole valuables and cash. The suspect was arrested after interrogation. He denied any involvement in the commission of the offenses. "

"The reasonable suspicion of committing the offenses is not high," she said.
