OT(?) Annanova Ananova: Bank official charged with huge bank fraud A bank official and her father have been indicted in one of the largest embezzlement, fraud and money laundering cases in Israeli history. Over a period of five years, Esther Alon and her father, Avigdor Maximov, stole more than 216 million shekels (£30 million) from the Trade Bank where she worked. The money went to pay off the gambling debts of her brother, Ofer Maximov, the prosecution told the Tel Aviv District Court. Customers of the bank told the court their accounts, savings and investments had been plundered by Alon. The defendants have not yet submitted a plea. Four other people have people indicted in connection with the case. All are owners of illegal gambling establishments where Ofer Maximov incurred some of his debts. The police hope the case will enable them to prosecute Israeli crime bosses whom they have been unable to catch for years. "We think we have uncovered only a fraction of the things that were done and we will keep investigating," said prosecutor Ela Rubinek. Over 100 suspects have been interrogated and the number would probably grow, the Justice Ministry said. Story filed: 14:18 Thursday 13th June 2002 ananova.com
