Maimon and Tsuff established hundreds tax havens
companies overseas (BVI)
they used those companies un order to transfer out and
launder money from Israeli companies .The same evading tax and launder funds were
used to acquire assets , including Maimon’s home in Kfar Shmariyahu, Israel.

Jackob (Kobe) Maimon and Haim Tsuff used many overseas tax
havens to avoid paying taxes in Israel, by drew the funds from Israeli’s
companies where they control.
One of the bank that they used is Israel first International
bank in Zurich, Switzerland. During the 20 years
they were able to fool the investigation and enforcement authorities in Israel
.
Maimon and Tsuff established a long list of companies ,that
opened bank accounts in F.I.B.I. Zurich.
This bank transferred millions of dollars deposited in these accounts - both
directly and through " third party." The Source of the funds : Maimon
and Tsuff’s public companies in Israel.
Maimon and Tsuff established a sophisticated system almost”
bullet-proof “. No wonder that the Israeli authorities struggled to
understand whether this is a legitimate tax planning or a Tax evading and money
laundering.
For more than 20 years Maimon and Tsuff managed to fool law enforcement authorities in Israel and in number of countries.
As we reported here in May 2010 , law enforcement authorities opened an investigation in 2010 that has been integrated with the participation of intelligence: ISA, Israel Police, the Tax Authority and the Money Laundering Prohibition Authority. The investigation was suspended for various reasons, that also require internal investigation.
In recent days, following exposure in News1, it was
decided to renew the investigation. Tax Authority appealed to the court for a
copy of documents located in the files of the court. Tax Authority
investigators will have naturally to investigate actions taken in the tax
havens used. Here are some of the transactions that required an investigation:
We note here are four examples:
The Magic1 transaction – Chesny Estates a BVI company, supposedly "owned " by Hod Gil. The company has leased and then acquired from ISRAMCO Inc. a
casino ship: The Magic 1. Hod Gil did not pay taxes in the Netherlands or Israel, and
he certainly could not explain the source
of his money that used to executed this
deal.
The villa in Kfar
Shmaryahu - A BVI company, Norget
Enterprise ,is shown as the owner of the villa in Havazelet 3 street, Kfar Shmariohu ,Israel, where Maimon lived by “renting it” . The villa was given later
on - by Norgt Enterprise as collateral for the benefit of the Bank Leumi Israel, which provided a 100 %
mortgage to Maimon’s kids . "The Amount of $ 2.5 million used to purchase another house
on 85 Hazorea st, Kfarv Shmariyahu’
Israel.
After " leaving "
Israel in 2010 , Maimon transferred $ 2.5 million from First
International Bank in Switzerland , and thus paid off the mortgage in Bank
Leumi. These funds that were used to
finance the acquisition of Maimon’s private property, were evaded tax - either
in Israel or in another country.
Tsuff’s Isramco Inc’s Salary- Tsuff used a BVI company,
Goodrich Global to withdraw money from ISRAMCO Inc, as consulting fee. From 1996 to until now the amount of $ 5.2 million. Tsuff never paid
Tax on it - not in the Netherlands nor in Israel.
Maimon’s Isramco Inc’s Salary – Maimon used a Mauricius
company World tech Inc. to withdraw money from ISRAMCO Inc. During
the years 2001 to 2008 he drew 2.7 million. Funds were transferred directly to
Zurich International Bank for which tax has never been paid in Israel.
The investigation against Kobe and his crimes partners will
probably be one of the largest and complex.
We in News1 will follow and
expose more information. It is already clear
that judicial inquiries would be taken abroad. The Israeli investigators knows and understand, that if
Maimon will not come soon to Israel to
be questioning, they will put warrant
to his arrest.
