The murderer and also the heiress, 2022 version: Only five years after her father, Y., murdered her mother, his only daughter S. was able to receive the compensation awarded to her in court as the victim of the crime - and it is doubtful that this would have happened if Y. had not committed suicide in prison and left all his money to his sister .
It was one of the cases that agitated the country that year.
Y. strangled his wife to death in a hotel after she threatened to leave him, he was sentenced to 20 years in prison and ordered to compensate his daughter with NIS 120,000, and the verdict was transferred to the fine collection center of the Enforcement and Collection Authority.

However, about two years ago, Y. ended his life in prison, and left a will in favor of his sister, who excluded any other heirs, and ignored his obligation to compensate the victim of the crime itself - his daughter.
S.'s attorney, appointed by the Legal Aid Unit at the Ministry of Justice, addressed the center and clarified that an objection to the will had been submitted.
After a hearing held in court, and due to the lack of ability to remove the warning note imposed by the center, an agreement was reached according to which the full amount of the compensation will be transferred to the center together with the linkage differences and interest - and these days 153 thousand shekels that were recently received at the center have been transferred.
The director of the center for collecting fines, Doron Tashit, said that the cooperation with the legal aid is very important in regards to receiving the compensation money for the displaced.

According to the director of the Enforcement and Collection Authority, Uri Wallerstein, "Unlike a relative, who doubted if he had the strength and tools to request a prohibition on the disposition of a family property under such traumatic circumstances, this is a decisive step that actually led to the payment of compensation to the victim."
