Rami Levy continues to get into trouble: Rabbi Harel Shapira, director of the Torah website "Daf Yomi Portal," said on his Facebook page that he was questioned by the police regarding the tracking of his phone while he was a subscriber to "Rami Levy Communications.".
""I received a phone call last night shortly before the online Daf Yomi class," he wrote in the post. "'Speaking from the police, you are invited tomorrow morning for a police investigation at the Russian Compound.'".
""When I asked why, they were not willing to answer. Shock. As the hours pass, I am unable to discover the reason for the investigation, but I pray and believe that it is not related in any way to the large and invested enterprise - the Daf Yomi portal.
""In the morning, before leaving, I told myself I would take some promotional material about the portal (flyers, bookmarks, etc.), because 'you never know who you'll meet, and there can always be a good opportunity to tell people about the portal.'.
""The investigator takes me into the interrogation room, with a kippah on his head. Of course, immediately upon his first question what I do for a living, I told him about the Daf Yomi portal and pulled out the material I brought.
""The researcher was enthusiastic and said, 'It was already worth it.'.
""Then comes the question: 'Why has Rami Levy Communications been 'spying' on you for a long time?' And I am presented with a very long list of calls and texts from my device and places I have been in Israel ("locating").
""It turns out that Rami Levy Communications was very interested in knowing who this was and why he was sending so many SMS messages... I hope they at least read the messages.".
Speaking to TheMarker, Rabbi Shapira said: "Apparently they (the police) invited a lot of people. They asked me if I worked there, if I worked there (Barmi Levy). They showed me a huge printout that he had made of me. They showed me 'On this date and at this time you were in Haifa, here you were at the central bus station, here at the Nation Towers.'.
""They tried to understand why they supposedly released this information about me. I am not related to Rami Levy or his company, but maybe it has to do with the fact that I had excessive use of SMS messages, I have a volunteer organization, and maybe they were interested in why I suddenly sent so many messages. Before and after me, there were other people who came for questioning.".
Marmi Levy Communications stated: "Without going into the specific case under investigation, the fraud prevention system aims to prevent unfair and infringing use of Unlimited packages. As the company stated, these uses were made with permission and authority.".
Losses of tens of millions
Since the affair broke, businessman Rami Levy has lost more than 70 million shekels on paper.
According to what is reported in Calcalist, the market value of Rami Levy's company currently stands at 2.302 billion shekels. Since the affair broke out yesterday at approximately 4:00 PM, Rami Levy's stock has fallen by 51.3% - meaning a drop in value of 121 million shekels. Rami Levy himself owns 48.31% of the shares, so he lost about 71 million shekels on paper.
Several senior executives at the company were questioned two days ago (Tuesday) in a warning, including Rami Levy, a director at the company, Ofir Atias, who is responsible for the company's communications department, and VP of Operations and Ombudsman at the subsidiary, Shlomo Golian.
