Farmington Hills 626-7850 located in the Daniel J Salon 261-5220 Tel Aviv (JTA) — Two of six Israelis charged by U.S. authorities with conspiracy to sell more than $2 billion in American weapons illegally to Iran denied in Jerusalem last week that they were in any way involved in a clandestine plot. Yitzhak Lombrozo, a lawyer, and Yitzhak Hevroni, an or- dained rabbi who is financial of- ficer of the Hebron Yeshiva, are among 17 men of six national- ities who were arrested or had warrants issued against them in New York on April 22. Also named in the charges by U.S. Federal prosecutor Ru- dolph Giuliani were Israel and Guri Eisenberg, a father and son who head the Bazalet Interna- tional Trading Co. (BIT) in Jerusalem, a firm the U.S. says was implicated in the alleged conspiracy. Hevroni is treasurer of BIT. Arrested in Bermuda April 22 were a retired Israel Defense Force general Avraham Baram and William Northrop, who holds dual U.S.-Israeli citizen- ship. They allegedly flew to the British colony to finalize the arms deal and are being held on charges of violating immigra- tion regulations pending ex- tradition to the U.S. Lombrozo, identified as "Humposa" in reports from the U.S., is a partner in the Jerusalem law firm of Hadani and Lombrozo. He stepped for- ward to acknowledge that he had drawn up the incorporation papers for BIT last February and insisted it was a legitimate firm engaged in lawful trade. According to Lombrozo, he also drafted the documents for the arms deal which, he said, stated explicitly that any trasaction was conditional on authorization by the U.S. and Israeli governments. "It was on- ly a $400 million deal," Lom- brozo said, adding that he had no idea where the $2.5 billion figure mentioned in the Ameri- can charges came from. Lombrozo and Hevroni said that they have not been notified by U.S. authorites of any action pending against them. Hevroni said he handled BIT'S financial matters and knew the company was engaged in arranging some kind of arms transaction. However, he stressed, he was positive it was not illegal. If an arms deal were about to be con- sumated, "they (BIT) would have obtained full prior author- ization from both the U.S. and the Israeli governments before going through with the deal," he said. Giuliani, who is the chief U.S. prosecutor for New York, said that there is "no suggestion of involvement by the Israeli government" in the alleged con- spiracy. The Foreign Ministry and Defense Ministry categor- ically denied that Israel was involved.
