Svetlana Ganzdilov, former Israeli champion in athletics, was convicted today (Thursday) of prostitution and various financial crimes, after running a chain of brothels.
According to the indictment, Ganzdilov, a 53-year-old resident of Givatayim, ran a prostitution ring for about five years in various apartments in Gush Dan and the Sharon area, where she employed women from Israel and abroad. During the years 2019-2020, the accused brought four women to work in the network. The women in the brothels worked
six days a week, in shifts that are about 12 hours long, and Ganzdilov took a significant portion of the payment they received for their work. In addition, she did not report the income from the chain's activities, which amounted to NIS 3.94 million.

The District Court in Tel Aviv presided over by Judge Mordechai Levy convicted her of causing a person to leave his country to engage in prostitution, conspiracy to commit a crime, pimping, advertising prostitution services, bringing a person into prostitution, holding a place for prostitution, tax evasion and money laundering.
Attorney Shimshon Weiss, who represents Ganzdilov on behalf of the public defender, said: "These days we will study the verdict and prepare for the arguments for punishment, with the hope that the court will show empathy for someone who has been subjected to unbearably harsh detention for about three years, put an end to her suffering and take into account her situation and her rights in the past." .
