later trustee of the Israeli charity and in general was the one to give the final approval for recommendations for expenditure. 11. He is clearly a committed and determined man and with considerable powers of persuasion. In the period September 2004 to March 2005 the ledgers of the charity indicate that it had received some £6 million by way of donation. In addition it received and made loans for purposes that the First Defendant deemed appropriate that are recorded in separate accounts. 12. The Third Defendant was the book keeper and records manager of the charity as well as a trustee until he resigned in June 2006. He essentially acted on the instructions of the First Defendant with respect to gathering in and allocating funds and distributing them. The Second Defendant is a successful and substantial businessman with a number of property companies, whose expertise and acumen was available to the First Defendant but who was not otherwise involved in the running of the charity of which he was a trustee until he also resigned in June 2006. 13. The Claimant is British born and based. He is a rabbi and his father is also a rabbi who had studied in the USA under Rabbi Teitelbaum. He is an orthodox rabbi and has some broad sympathy with the ideology of the Satmar movement. He attends a Satmar orientated synagogue and charitable functions. He points out that this is part of the social life of orthodox Stamford Hill and does not profess a deep understanding of Satmar doctrine. He is himself a substantial businessman and through a series of small companies, of which he and his wife are sole directors and or/shareholders, has a portfolio of some 50 properties in the UK. He has commercial interests in the USA but none in Israel. 14. YLJT is a UK registered charity that acts as the UK fundraising arm of an Israeli non registered charity Yet Lev Jerusalem. There are a number of similar bodies world wide whose ideology is that of the Satmar Hasidic movement. The overall purpose of the UK charity’s existence is to support the aims of the charity in general and the programme of spending of the Israeli charity in particular. In 2005 after the principal events with which this case is concerned, the Israeli charity was registered and changed its name to Keren Yetev Lev. In June 2006 the UK charity wound down its fundraising activities. 15. At the material time, the UK charity kept separate ledgers for loans and donations. It is apparent that the trustees furthered the objects of the charity by borrowing money from individuals and using the same for whatever purposes it was needed: whether repaying commercial loans, passing urgently needed funds to Israel, or conducting such transactions in the UK as they considered promoted the aims of the charity. 16. One such transaction included helping the trustees of a different charity the Craven Walk Beth Hamedrash Trust to develop a property at 42 Craven Walk, London N16 from being a private house into a synagogue. The witness statement of the Second Defendant supplied the details of this transaction and was not substantially challenged as to these matters when he gave evidence. One of his commercial property companies agreed to purchase the property for the Craven Walk Trust in 2002. Finance was needed to develop the property as neither the Trust nor the property company had the necessary standing with the banks to raise such finance, the title of the property was transferred to the YLJT in about 2003, and a loan raised from a
