Despite legal debates, the Tel Aviv Court ruled against the bank's sanction concerns and mandated an NIS 8 million transfer from Abramovich to the Israeli humanitarian group ZAKA.
Despite the Attorney General supporting the bank, the Tel Aviv District Court has instructed Mizrahi Tefahot Bank to transfer Roman Abramovich's NIS 8 million donation to ZAKA.
Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara says that if Mizrahi Tefahot Bank transferred Roman Abramovich's donation, it will be exposed to risk due to EU sanctions.
According to the lawsuit, Bank Mizrachi has refused to transfer a NIS 8 million donation to Zaka to help the NGO prepare for future emergencies. The first hearing for the case was held today.
