He left Kyiv and flew to Israel, because of the death of Shimon Peres. And there billionaire Lauder, son of Joseph and Estee Lauder, who was the founder of the legendary American cosmetics company "Estée Lauder's", was met and arrested by the investigators of special Israeli police force, “Lahav 433”, to be send to the interrogation.
"Lahav 433" is a department for combating serious crimes, investigating corruption, fraud and economic crimes at the highest level. "Lahav" in Hebrew means "edge" or "blade". In addition, it was called the Israeli FBI. Investigators of this force deals with presidents, prime ministers, ministers and deputies, despite their regalia, positions or services.
In Israeli society, there is a zero tolerance towards any officials: if you broke the law – you are welcome to go to the prison, nobody cares about your grade or thickness of your purse. Conversely, the more famous is the person, the more monitoring it will get. "Lahav 433" deals with it professionally and police officers, who serve there, are equipped with the most modern technological means, which allows conducting an investigation on the highest modern standards.
Leaders of political parties, opposition blocks, probably all the Ministers, Heads of Government, Presidents and rabbis were so-called "clients" of this division. Its task is to clean the top of society. For example, former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is now paying his due to society because of accusation in corruption, other leaders of the ruling party and the opposition attend the interrogatory regularly, and that is normal. More recently, "Lahav 433" investigated the case of former Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, who attributed the acceptance of a bribe of $ 2 million. Hi escaped from the sentence, because he died in August…
Moreover, in Israel any journalistic investigation does not end with a loud bang, it quickly goes into the development of the police. Israel is a small country, where everyone knows each other, and the news spread with the speed of lightning. If you really came to the attention of law enforcement agencies, you are going to be fully checked. In addition, journalists are closely watching for every move of politicians.
Must be said, that even inside the division there is a serious inspection of every employee - from the ordinary ones to the Head. A couple of years ago, the chief of "Lahav-433", General Menashe Arbiv was accused of bribery: according to the investigation, he was suspected in getting the United States visa for his wife and son with the help of the one of the richest rabbis of Israel. In addition, every month he received money from him for his son. Now rabbi is in prison too, he is testifying against his accomplices.
Returning to the beginning of the story: Ronnie Lauder refused to testify to "Lahav" and said that time, choose by investigators, was "unacceptable", as he came to Israel from Kyiv to attend the funeral of his close friend. However, the billionaire briefly answered a number of questions and signed an agreement that either he would come to Israel to testify separately, or “Lahav” investigators in New York will visit him. Believe me; they will come anywhere, because it is in the interests of Israel.
