The conversation between the owners of "My Computer" Yaniv Amar and a lawyer who tried to recruit as a debt collector/system and voila!
The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court authorized the police to hold approximately 1.4 million shekels that were taken from the bank accounts of Yaniv Amar-Rahav, owner of the company "My Computer", whose story was revealed in an investigation by Walla and led to his arrest following the investigation.
The court rejected his request to release the money to him, after it was learned that while he was declared bankrupt, he allegedly pocketed hundreds of thousands without the knowledge of the Kanar (the main receiver) and his creditors and even obtained a discharge for himself at the end of the proceedings.
Police Fraud Division investigators Jerusalem is currently examining the 110 complaints filed against Amr Rahab by the victims of my computer sting and working from home, an investigation in which approximately NIS 750,000 was seized from his bank account. The investigation revealed that Amr is also suspected of committing money laundering offenses, and the police issued an additional warrant for the seizure of NIS 600,000 more held in his account.

However, Amar did not give up, and submitted a request to the court for the release of some of the seized funds.
During the hearing held this week at the Jerusalem Magistrate's Court, the police representative revealed that the Ministry of Justice is also involved in the investigation, which is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.
"In addition to receiving things fraudulently, blackmailing through threats, Amr-Rahav is now also suspected of money laundering. Over the past few years, there are several businesses under his name through which he fraudulently spends money. Also, the respondent was bankrupt between 2017-2021, when he declared an income of About NIS 100,000, but he did not declare to the official collector an income of NIS 400,000 in 2021," the police representative explained.
"By virtue of this, there is also a suspicion of money laundering offenses, so we asked to seize the funds themselves."
The police representative also stated that "Amar-Rahav gets poorer every time he makes a request to the High Court, but there are hundreds of thousands of shekels and more in his bank accounts.
He submitted a request
to the court in 2022 under the claim that he had nothing to eat, when in fact he had about NIS 300 in his account at that time."
To take more money out of the state," added the police representative. "Amar-Rahab lies in every application to the court, and also makes others lie in order to take out more money.
We will ask to spend all the funds and seize them until an indictment is filed."

At the end of the hearing, Magistrate Gad Arenberg rejected Amr's request and ordered that the funds be left in the hands of the police, "After considering the arguments of the parties, I came to the conclusion that the suspicion presented to me is well-founded in the investigative material presented to me. Therefore, there is no reason, at this stage, to order a release The seized funds".
Lawyer Avichai Alkovi, who represents hundreds of victims of my computer sting, was also present at the hearing, and responded that "We see progress in this case only in small, too small steps. While Mahtel is making false claims in the court system, he has already managed to set up a new and sophisticated sting exercise. Right now , Yaniv asked the state to release to him funds seized during the investigation, funds that are apparently only the tip of the iceberg of the results of his actions. We very much hope that the justice system will come to its senses and know how to arrest him immediately. Every day that this guy is out there - more and more innocent people fall victim to his exploits."
