Land Fraud by a Lawyer: Shakib Abu Rukn | White Collar Crime

Описание: "I found it appropriate to present, in extensive and comprehensive detail, the seventeen charges brought against the defendant in the two indictments, the main and the additional indictment, in order to demonstrate the scale of the fraudulent activities for which he was convicted, and the damage his actions caused to numerous victims, government authorities, including the Land Registry Office and the tax authorities, as well as to the legal profession."

These words appear in the court's sentencing decision in the case of attorney Shakib Abu Rukn.

Shakib Abu Rukn is the attorney who was convicted of the following offenses:

Obtaining property by fraud under aggravated circumstances.

Forgery under aggravated circumstances.

Using forged documents under aggravated circumstances.

Providing false information with the intent to evade taxes.

Employing deceit, trickery, and fraudulent schemes.

According to the court's sentencing decision, he identified plots of land in the Carmel region, including properties whose owners lived abroad or had passed away.

He offered these properties for sale without the knowledge or consent of their rightful owners.

He forged sale agreements, powers of attorney, signatures, and official stamps, and submitted falsified documents to government authorities.

As a result, cautionary notices were registered in the Land Registry, and in one case, ownership of the property was actually transferred in the official land records, known in Israel as the Tabu.

He obtained money through fraudulent means and continued committing offenses even after he had been prohibited from practicing law.
