Sixteen persons were summoned to court, among them Salomon Elyazar, Mordohay, Edvart, Nesim, Ilya Zaharya, Rafail, Davit, Samoil, Muiz, Lui, and Muiz and Hanriyi, the sons of a certain Avram Avramoviç. Salamon Elyazar, İlya Zaharya, Rafail and Hanri were finally sentenced to prison. Avram Avramoviç, based in Paris, was discovered to be smuggling foreign currency via an account with an Italian bank in Egypt run by two men by the names of Uzeyr und Trekoviç. |
