Mrs. Loriat Khuri is married to Mr. Dawud Khuri, who although not registered in the Registrar of Companies, appears to be the dominant figure in subject.

The telephone number of Mr. Zohar Artul, the other partner in the company, is disconnected.

Bank Hapoalim Ltd., Carmiel Branch (No. 747), account numbers No. 601313 and 571171

 

A check with the Central Banks' database did not reveal anything detrimental on subject’s a/m accounts.

 

 

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

It has been very difficult to trace subject in practice. There are no telephone numbers registered under subject's name in the Telephone or Trade Directories.

 

The telephone number you provided us with (972-4-678-2887) is disconnected and temporarily out of order.  The fax number (972-4-678-2404) is working. We sent a fax with out request, but so far we did not get any response.

 

According to the Telephone Directories, there are 2 cellular telephone numbers under the name of Dawud Khuri (972-52-540 5000; 52-540 9000). Both numbers appear to be none related to Mr. Khuri at all (both persons attending the calls said they did not know Mr. Khuri).

 

We spoke with the management of Carmiel City Square Mall. They informed us that Dawud Khuri and TAREK PHARM (subject) are related to a Change Store inside the Mall called "CARMIEL CHANGE".

 

The provided 2 telephone numbers:

Telephone:        972-4-908 0050: the number rings and immediately disconnects.

Fax:                  972-4-908 0051: we sent a fax to this number, which so far remains unanswered.

 

In addition, the Mall management official told us that Mr. Dawud Khuri is the owner of a coffee shop in the mall, which is leased to a third party, who operated the café.

 

We called the Café at 972-4-958 6047. The person in charge confirmed to us that he hires the premises from Dawud Khuri but he does not have his phone number. He added that Mr. Khuri comes once a year to collect rental fees and otherwise they have no connection (which seems unreliable to us!).

 

From our sources, the telephone number at the Khuri couple residence is 972-4-678 6131. We called this number several times, however there is no answer.

 

From a case debated in the Krayot Magistrate Court on 18.9.2007, in which subject, Loriat Khuri, Dawud Khuri and Ms. Amal Khuri (sister of Dawud) (all 4 hereinafter "the plaintiffs") are suing M.H. (MONI) FOR INVESTMENTS & ASSETS LTD. (hereinafter "MONI"), we learn the following:

 

Mr. Khuri Mondar, the owner of MONI, and Dawud Khuri agreed on a deal in 2006, according to which Mr. Mondar allegedly committed to invest NIS 4 million in subject (a loan) in return for monthly interest of 2.25% plus VAT. The deal was to be backed by subject and Dawud Khuri's guarantees for the loan, i.e. real estate properties. MONI transferred initial sum of NIS 500,000 for subject, however delayed the rest of the investment since the guarantee issue was not settled. Until July 2007, MONI transferred total of NIS 1,755,000 to subject, however the rest of the money (the balance up to MIS 4,000,000 as agreed upon) was not transferred, which led to a business conflict between the sides.

 

Subject and Mr. Dawud Khuri claimed, that MONI and Mr. Mundar failed to meet their commitment, while subject, despite that, kept its obligation and transferred MONI 11 checks for the monthly interest payments on the loan.

 

On the other hand, MONI filed a lawsuit against the plaintiffs for 3 checks (including the NIS 1,755,000 loan) signed by subject, Dawud and Loriat Khuri that were desecrated and could not be respected by the bank. As a result, MONI asked the Court to issue temporary injunctions against subject and motions to disallow Dawud and Loriat to leave the country. The Court accepted the requests, opened files for execution against subject and the Khuri couple. The Court also issued orders prohibiting Dawud and Loriat from leaving the country. Later, following an appeal by Loriat, the Court dismissed the order against her only.

 

Mr. Mundar also claimed that he halted the balance of his investment since subject did not present the adequate guarantees as agreed upon and in fact, the whole transaction was planned as a "sting operation" by "the plaintiffs".

 

From the Court case, it was also revealed that there has been another verdict against Dawud Khuri on the sum of NIS 2 million, on which the later submitted an appeal.

 

The cases are still pending in Courts.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Considering the above, dealings – if any – are recommended on a cash on advance basis only.
