Family Fight At Center Of Israeli's Trial
District Court in Miami, is anything but routine.
At the core is a bitter family feud, with key government informant Ilan Kashti testifying against his son, Yehuda, his daughter in law, Kineret Kashti, and her father, Tisona.
Another prosecution witness was gunned down last month outside his North Miami Beach travel agency in a murder robbery. Yigal Gretah had told federal agents that Yehuda Kashti once threatened to hire Colombians to shoot up'' another business he owned.
But Yehuda and Kineret Kashti will not be on trial. The couple,replica cartier necklace gold, purportedly penniless, fled to Israel just before Christmas to avoid prosecution. But according to court records, that was not before they filled two shipping containers with stolen jewelry, artwork and family heirlooms they failed to acknowledge during bankruptcy proceedings last year.
The case is rife with the interwoven relationships of the close knit Israeli and Russian expatriate communities in South Florida and New York.
Key government witness Ilan Kashti and lead defendant Tisona were among 11 people identified as organized crime figures in a controversial late 1970s report Israeli police leaked to their national media.
Colombian witnesses are expected to testify about Tisona's kidnapping and near execution by the Cali cartel in late 1994 or early 1995 after millions of dollars disappeared,replica love chain. He was released months later after convincing the drug lords that the money was missing because of bookkeeping snafus.
Fortunes and feuds
Tisona, 54, came to the United States in 1976 after earning a fortune with the Wimpy's hamburger franchise in Israel. By 1982, he co owned a successful vegetable and fish farm in Jamaica. He sold his share in 1988 for $650,replica love cartier pendant,000 after his partner was busted for smuggling drugs in export fish crates.
Prosecutors say he took the proceeds to Colombia, where he started another fish farm with partners tied to the cartel.
They say cartel drug money was flowing from New York to Miami, where it was cleaned'' in the bank accounts of downtown jewelry stores owned by Kineret and Yehuda Kashti and Yehuda's parents, Ilan and Esther Kashti, who moved to South Florida in 1989. The private mortgage on their first local home on Northeast 22nd Avenue near 199th Street was held by Tisona.
But Tisona's attorney, Vincent Flynn, contends that Ilan Kashti is the brains of the money laundering scheme.
The case against this gentleman [Tisona) . . . consists of the testimony of a disgruntled father in law and several jailhouse informants: Colombians convicted of drug dealing or money laundering who are trying to buy their way out of prison by testifying against him.''
Ilan Kashti faces up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines after pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States. In return for his assistance, prosecutors agreed to recommend a lighter sentence and dropped the government's case against his wife.
Yehuda Kashti sided with his wife and father in law, describing his own father as a liar, a thief and a cheat.'' Police reports say that he beat up his younger sister, Sigalit, another potential witness.
Yehuda Kashti keeps interesting company. In January 1997, he was charged with careless driving after crashing a Jeep into the gate at his Turnberry Isle condo complex. The Jeep was registered to Ludwig Tarzan'' Fainberg, manager and owner of the Porky's strip club in Hialeah. Fainberg was arrested in 1996 on charges he tried to buy a Russian nuclear attack sub to smuggle drugs from South America. The agents' fears came true in December when the couple, their two young sons and co defendant Danny Fields skipped South Florida for Israel,love replica cartier necklace, which does not extradite its citizens facing criminal charges abroad.
In February, the feds located two containers filled with the Kashtis' household possessions, jewels, Cartier and Rolex watches, electronic equipment and artwork.
Its contents came as a shock to bankruptcy court lawyers, judges and trustees who believed the Kashtis were broke and had few salable assets when they filed for Chapter 7 liquidation in early 1997.
