TEL AVIV (JTA) — A Tel
Aviv district court yester-
day pronouced three sent-
ences totaling 24 years on a
former bank director con-
victed of theft and fraud
despite pleas for clemency
by Chief Rabbi Shlomo
Goren and other leading fig-
ures in religous and busi-
ness circles.
Yehoshua Ben Zion, who
was director general of the
now defunct Israel-British
Bank, was found guilty of
having stolen some $40 mil-
lion through illegal finan-
cial manipulations. His
sentences will run concur-
rently, meaning that he will
serve a maximum of 12
years in prison.
The sentences, by a panel
of three district court
judges, are considered
among the most severe ever
imposed for economic
crimes. Ben Zion claimed
they were unjust and said
he would appeal.
