Israeli Tax Authority whistle-blower Rafi Rotem exposed organized crime in government:
Huge tax breaks to tycoons and crime figure related businesses, sex bribes, and murder of
a "source". Rotem has been subjected to harassment, intimidation, and retaliation over the
past 12 years. He lost his job, his home, his possessions.
The corruption exposed by Rafi Rotem was described by former Attorney General
Menachem Mazuz as the closest to organized crime in government.
The case is described by senior journalist Amnon Dankner as the worst case of
miscarriage of justice he has seen in his long career as a journalist, where all institutions
of the justice system gang up on an honest person to trample him and destroy him.
Recently, his case has become a cause of the Israeli Protest movement and journalists, as
a key case in fighting government corruption.
On April 29, 2014 letter from the Israeli State Ombudsman's office, for the first time after
12 years, his office agreed to take Rafi Rotem's evidence and testimony, and started
process to restore his financial rights as a wrongfully terminated State employee.
The case shows that concerted efforts of journalists and the Israeli Social Protest
movement can stand up to a State, where the justice system went astray.
